A terrible attack on a 92-year-old in Manhattan in New York was caught on video, and it is chilling. Watch below:
Here’s more from CBS News in New York:
The disturbing assault was caught on surveillance video. A 92-year-old woman was walking on Third Avenue when for no apparent reason a man pushes her. She hits her head on a fire hydrant on her way to the ground.
The man takes nothing, watching her struggle as he walks away.
“I can’t believe that someone would do this,” the woman told DeAngelis.
Even more disbelief for the woman when DeAngelis showed her the surveillance video for the first time.
“Oh, he did look back. He did look back to see me fall on the floor, that rat!” she said.
She didn’t want to give her name, but gave DeAngelis a look at her injuries, which sent her to Mount Sinai Beth Israel hospital.
“He hit me on the left – ow – that hurts to touch it,” she said, indicating her arm. “I was all bloody.”
“This man did nothing except change my life and almost kill me,” she added.
Just horrific, but at least the cops believe they have caught the scumbag:
She was relieved to later find out that an anonymous tip led to the arrest of 31-year-old Rashid Brimmage in Harlem Tuesday.
He’s a registered sex offender who police say has been arrested about 65 times. Some include assault, harassment, resisting arrest and persistent sexual abuse. He’s due in court in July for arrests from earlier this year.
What a waste of oxygen. Yet another reason to abandon the big cities… though to be fair, random violence happens everywhere, it’s just not usually caught on video when it’s this insidious.
