A video shows three men walking on the sidewalk. Then, one of the men punches the victim. The man falls down unconscious. It looks like the guy that threw the punch goes through the man’s pockets and then continues walking with the other man. The victim was 61 years old. The police are still looking for the suspects.
From Fox News:
A 61-year-year old man died last week, five days after he was punched and knocked unconscious on a Brooklyn street by a man who was walking next to him, the New York Police Department said Thursday.
The suspect who hit him then appeared to go through the victim’s pockets, grab something and hand it to a second suspect who had been walking with them before the assault.
The victim, identified in reports as Victor Vega, was near his home on Lexington Avenue when the men approached and walked with him before the attack, FOX 5 in New York City reported.
It’s unclear if he knew the suspects.
Fox News has the article here.

Hey, at least the perp was wearing his mask…
I’m sure he just needed the keys to get into bible study..
Probably will be freed on his own recognizance.
They’re called pavement predators for a reason. Tens of thousands of cops in NYC and millions of defenseless citizens. And the predators know that. Murder by sucker punch. When, oh when, will we pass some common sense fist control laws?
Yes! LAWS!!! Just one mor’ll fix everything! (see image Frank Gets It)
I grew up in the NYC Metro area. I’ll NEVER go back. And i’m doing my damndest to stay out of cities period.
Roger that!
Grew up in Laurelton Queens when it was great away back when.
It’s ok. He didn’t use an AR-15.
Hore-chul signed a law prohibiting the plebs from owning body armor.
Whats next, farking helmets?
Behold! The ineptitude of the creatures foisted foully daring to rule us.
It’s all fun and games until the trucking stops…
If those reprobates make it to my patrol base, well, fill in some blanks.
Also, that moment when you realize you’re waayyyy to close to NYShity (see bee’low)
I’ve been in 55 countries and all fifty states. Deployed to Iraq, Kuwait, Kosovo, Macedonia and Israel (yes it counted…). Outside of deploying, I’ve never been so security-conscious and head-on-a-swivel concerned as on the streets right here in NYC, Baltimore, Philly, DC and New Orleans. And this includes no-go areas in Paris and working in the West Bank. Hmm. I wonder why?
Death penalty for these two. No exceptions.
Cannot happen; New Yawk abolished its death penalty many years ago.
To quote Hank Williams Jr: ” I’d like to spit some beechnut in that dude’s eye …… and shoot him with my old 45″
