A homeless man, James Lawson, 44, attacked veteran Mark Antal in a broad daylight incident in the East Village, injuring Antal seriously with a brick. Lawson, with a history of previous arrests, has been jailed on $25,000 bail following the attack while Antal recovers at home. Antal is a decorated veteran of Delta Force and co-founded a nonprofit assisting victims in war zones. His family is focusing on providing support during this challenging time, thanking authorities for their quick response.
We are grateful to the swift action of the NYPD and the prosecutor's office. Mark and the children are going as well as to be expected.
Lawson allegedly lunged at Antal and the two got into a scuffle, with the vagrant then picking up a brick and slamming the victim in the head.
