Distraught man hits boy, 12, with crutch in unprovoked attack in NYC: video

A confused man randomly attacked a 12-year-old boy at school in Brooklyn – hit the boy in the head with a crutch, shocking new video shows.

The boy was near the corner of St. Paul’s Place and St. Paul’s Court in Prospect Park last week when a stranger ran across the street and hit him twice with a single crutch, according to the NYPD and a video they got early published Wednesday.

When the maniac struck a third time, the teenager ran away, avoiding being hit again.

Cops say the attacker picked up the crutch from the ground, possibly from a pile of trash, and hung around in the middle of the block before pouncing on the unsuspecting child.

He mumbled something unintelligible during the unprovoked attack on November 17, police officers said.

The fiend quietly walked away after the attack, dropping the crutch on the sidewalk as he headed north toward St Paul’s Place.

The victim suffered minor head injuries and was taken to a local emergency room in stable condition. At the time of the attack, he was on his way to the Church Avenue B and Q train station.

The suspect was still at large as of Wednesday morning.

He is described as male with dark complexion, medium build and beard. He was last seen wearing a black winter hat, black jacket with a yellow hood, blue jeans and black sneakers.
