MANHATTAN - A brazen, bat wielding brute bashed a homeless man’s head in with a baseball bat in full view of NYPD cameras. 


Police released the dramatic video of the attack. At around 8 am on November 29, a 47-year-old homeless man was walking down Amsterdam Avenue when a man dressed in black walked up behind him, pulled a baseball bat out of his pants, and whacked him in the back of the head.  


The victim fell to the ground grabbing his head and rolling onto his back. The attacker is then seen hovering over him as he lay sprawled across the sidewalk. The attacker was seen yelling at the helpless man.  He then casually walked away. 



Investigators said the victim and his attacker had been in a verbal dispute prior to the attack.


EMS rushed the victim to Harlem Hospital where he was treated for a gash to the back of his head. He was listed in stable condition. 





The brutality of the attack has shocked New Yorkers. The brazenness was even more shocking. The attack took place in front of 1770 Amsterdam Avenue. The victim was struck with the bat and lay on the sidewalk underneath a clearly visible NYPD surveillance camera and an NYPD speed camera. 


Although the suspect kept his hoodie up and wore a black mask during the attack, he let his guard down. Police obtained video of the man walking away from the scene with the hood and the face mask down. 





The bat wielding attacker is described as a light skinned male who was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt with 'Nike' written on the front, gray sweatpants and black sneakers.
