Man attacked in the street with a baseball bat

An individual was strolling peacefully down a New York City street, when suddenly an assailant came forward pulling a baseball bat out of his pants, then striking the victim in the back of the neck.

The sequence appears to be a targeted attack as the “puncher” stared down the victim before savagely attacking him with the bat in an enraged manner. He screams outright as he pounds the 47-year-old victim, who is lying on the ground.

Prior to this varlope, the assailant, who is now nicknamed “bat-man,” put on a hood while stalking his victim. But before taking action, he took the trouble to wait for a passerby to leave the section where he was preparing to unleash his attack.

After his violent blow, the bat-man walked away, but returned to the victim to start yelling at him, while kicking him a few times.

According to the police report, the victim, who was taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital, escaped with a laceration and some bruising.

At this time, the assailant has still not been found by the New York police.
