Police have revealed horrifying film of a patron of a restaurant chasing another customer outside and then severely hitting him in a wordless attack, fracturing his skull.
The New York City Police Department has opened an investigation and published a video of the attack that occurred in the Bronx on Friday, August 12.
The man was transported to the hospital after being discovered unconscious and lifeless on the ground with a head injury.
CCTV horrifyingly catches the moment the police suspect donned gloves and swung with enormous power, striking the victim in the back of the head.
He then falls to the ground, apparently unconscious, and hits his head on the concrete.
The unnamed male, who was wearing a black T-shirt, departed the restaurant shortly after the victim, who was conversing with a group of people.
Then, while wearing dark pants, he positioned himself behind the victim, attacked him, and then returned to the restaurant.
Police are requesting that anyone with information about the man’s identification come forward.
EMS rushed the man to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi for treatment of his skull fracture, cheekbone fracture, and bleeding on the brain.
His health is currently critical but stable, and inquiries into the savage assault are underway.
