A middle-aged man was viciously attacked in Midwood early Monday morning by two hooded assailants. Officials said the victim is Jewish. The attackers have not yet been identified.
The attack began when one of the perpetrators ran up behind the unsuspecting victim and punched him to the sidewalk, where he was then repeatedly pummeled and kicked by both attackers. The perpetrators emptied the man’s pockets and gave him a final vicious kick to the head before leaving.
The attack happened at roughly 1 a.m. in front of 809 Avenue M, according to Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn). Hikind said the assailants removed the victim’s iPhone and wallet. The attack can be seen in a surveillance video posted here.
