'With a brick? Who does that?' Police are searching for the suspects seen on video attacking a man with a brick in Harlem.
Police said it started when he accused a woman of stealing packages from his home.
Surveillance video shows the suspect come up from behind and beat the 60-year-old victim with a brick -- so badly, he falls onto the ground. The suspect then continues to punch the victim while he's down. "Come on. Is that serious? I mean really?" said Harlem resident Carmen Cruz, who couldn't believe her eyes.
This all happened around 3 p.m. last Thursday by the corner of West 132nd Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard. "Ignore it. 'I didn't do it, prove it.' End of the story," Ward Turco said. "If you didn't steal the packages, then why you going so hard to try to attack this person?" Anthony Lanier said."I feel like violence like that is not the answer. Now she is going to be in trouble, facing charges."
NYPD data shows felony assaults are up 7.4% in the area and 19.1% citywide. Many are concerned about the violence.Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at
