NYC BRUTE KICKS 79-YEAR-OLD IN FACE, KNOCKING HIM OUT, IN VICIOUS UNPROVOKED
ATTACK: COPS

By Amanda Woods

Published May 17, 2024, 4:32 p.m. ET

A brute randomly kicked an elderly man to the ground — knocking him unconscious
and critically injuring him — in a callous Brooklyn attack this week, cops
said. 

The assailant approached the 79-year-old victim — identified by WABC as Saleh
Yahya — as he walked on Flatbush Avenue near Lincoln Road in Prospect-Lefferts
Gardens just before 11 p.m. Monday, authorities said.

He kicked the senior in the face, sending him down to the ground and causing him
to black out, cops said.

He was taken to the Kings County Hospital Center in critical but stable
condition — and had no apparent interaction with his alleged attacker
beforehand, police said.

The vicious attack left him with four fractured ribs and an injured spleen, the
network reported.

“I feel bad,” Yahya, who also suffered a cut on his head and pain in his face,
told WABC. “Very bad. I can’t even move.”

The severely injured septuagenarian, who said he’s unsure when he’ll be released
from the hospital, added that he doesn’t have family to take care of him.

Cops released surveillance footage of the suspect, who was still on the loose
Friday.
