Police said that the incident took place at 3:10 PM in front of 1314 Avenue J. Video surveillance obtained from the scene show the suspect walking down the street carrying a blue shopping bag and muttering to himself “[obscenity] kicking his [obscenity],” just seconds before mumbling something unintelligible and bumping into his victim, punching him repeatedly and kicking him in the back. Staring the victim down, the suspect repeating loudly, “[obscenity] kicking his [obscenity],” before calmly walking away from the scene.
Police said that the suspect was approximately 30 years old, approximately 5’11” tall, with closely cropped hair and was wearing a blue t-shirt bearing the words “STAGE CREW” in large letters, grey jeans and white sneakers at the time of the attack. The victim sustained only minor injuries in the incident.
Both police and Flatbush Shomrim were called to the scene but were unable to apprehend the suspect. Bob Moskovitz, executive coordinator of Flatbush Shomrim said that he has received numerous calls from people who say they have seen the suspect in the area, and that he likely lives nearby.

The boychickles who are molly coddled by their mommies, and who fress in the Avenue J pizza shops during this attack, should have come out and done something. Nebech.
its strange no NYPD was there, there is a Dunkin donuts down the block, of course the NYPD is searching while playing on their smartphones.
Actually number 1 is correct. There is a pizza shop where you see the outdoor children’s horse ride, and the attack happened right in front of the fruit store.
I’m no Sherlock here, but has anyone gone to the MetroPCS store on the corner where he seems to have purchased a new phone… Just saying
This was an instance of where too people accidentally bumped into each other; the attacker, was obviously a psycho. One of these days, he will repeat that scenario on the wrong person, and will get the heck beaten out of him, or possibly worse.
