According to the police report, the incident happened on Monday, September 30 at about 11:45 a.m. in the vicinity of 65th and York Avenue, where a 67-year-old man was approached by the suspect. Following a verbal dispute, the alleged assailant “punched the victim in the face and kicked the victim in the left side of his back,” according to the report.
After the attack, the suspect ran west down 65th Street and the victim was transported by EMS to an area hospital in stable condition.
