Alarming video shows a belligerent attacker pulling a baseball bat from his pants and hitting an unsuspecting man in the back of the head on a Manhattan sidewalk.
The 47-year-old victim is knocked to the ground and the unknown attacker is seen angrily yelling over him as he lies on the sidewalk in front of 1770 Amsterdam Ave. in Hamilton Heights Tuesday at 8:06 a.m., according to the video released Saturday by the NYPD.
It’s not clear if the two had any interaction before the attack but the assailant appears to be targeting the man and glances at his face before pulling out the weapon. Police are now asking for the public’s help identifying the assailant.
The video clip released by authorities shows the attacker fiddling with the bat in his pants with the handle covered by a hooded sweatshirt. He walks behind his intended target and nearly passes him, glancing over at his face.
At that moment, a third man walks in the opposite direction between the two and the attacker turns toward the street and stops, seeming to wait for the bystander to pass before he takes out the bat. He takes a hard swing at the victim, who tumbles to the ground and rolls around in pain.
The attacker turns and walks away, visibly furious, and appears to yell back at the victim. The bat-wielding man then returns and yells at the victim, appearing to stomp him at one point before leaving again.
The attacker was last seen in a hooded sweatshirt with “Nike” on the front, gray sweatpants and black sneakers. The victim suffered a laceration and bruising and was taken by ambulance to NYC Health and Hospitals/Harlem in stable condition, the NYPD said.
Cops are asking anyone with information to call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/.

From the current Agudah Fresser Convention panel on "anti-Semitism + anti-Charediism"
The Agudah made Aaron Twerski 2nd fiddle to a Chassidishe askan in Rockland County, Yisruel Kahan. There was a major flaw in both their speeches which has come to be expected of the Agudah, as non-Agudah gedolim have pointed out going back decades. There was NOT ONE mention of Torah as the best solution or any part of the solution. How could these Convention Fressers ignore this - bifrat when the inyana deyuma is Hakol Kol Yaakov??????
Kahan contradicted himself when he said a goyishe inspector catches Yidden all the time on new construction violations but never once R' Don Ungarischer ztl because he was a tzaddik who always made sure to make kiddush Hashem. In the next breath, Kahan said we are all tzaddikim but the anteh-Semitten refuse to recognize it. It would have been a lot more productive had Kahan given musser for all the terrible, willful chilul Hashem that goes on & which causes at least 95% of anti-Semitism in Rockland to begin with. The Agudah has come to be living in a dream world, so are they supposed to solve the Klal's problems? Maybe this is the real reason why Twerski then went off script to waver between whether the Agudah "will become in irrelevant in 3 to 5 years" or is already irrelevant.
Twerski got rather emotional while bashing his Agudah hosts for excluding the Chassidishe oylam for the last 10 years from the Moetzes, which he said is the gorem why the Chassidishe oylam stopped coming once a year to Fress and otherwise have no interest in Agudah, and why he is personally uncomfortable coming to join the Fressers. He feels it was a revolution bemeizid that the Litvaks pushed out the heimishe. He warns if the Agudah does not immediately do kiruv & expand the Moetzes with heimishe Hadras Punims, gantz Klal Yisroel will lose the brewing battle against yeshivos. Pro-Fresser Twerski seemed confused when he said Bobov is one of the excluded Chassidussen. As a Bobover himself he knows that Bobov always refused to join Agudah.
Zweibel got up & tried to make a dishonest joke that Twerski's rant is proof that we don't heavily censor speakers as we are always accused of. Cut it out Chaim Dovid, as it's obvious that Twerski pulled a fast one on you.
You should have picked your own cotton. Terrible scourge.
