A 69-year-old woman was socked in the face in a broad-daylight attack on the Upper East Side. The victim suffered bruising, swelling, and pain, requiring treatment at Lenox Hill Hospital.
The assailant, described as a bald man wearing glasses and a mask, remains at large. Surveillance footage captured him wearing specific clothing items and carrying a backpack during the attack.
Another incident involved a homeless man attacking actor Steve Buscemi, resulting in a felony charge due to the victim's age. This reflects a trend of targeted violence against older individuals.
Recent cases like the brutal kicking of a 79-year-old in Brooklyn show a concerning pattern of unprovoked aggression towards elderly people in public spaces.
