Brutal Beatdown In Crown Heights Ends After Knife-Wielding Assailant Flees

by CrownHeights.info

It’s a story straight out of a nightmare.

A truck driver picking up donations from Crown Heights locations found himself the target of a beatdown Sunday from an irate knife-wielding man.

Witnesses of the incident told CrownHeights.info that the knife-wielding man had been in a car behind the truck on Union Street and New York Ave on Sunday afternoon when he and the truck driver got into an argument. The heated words escalated and the driver of the car pulled out a knife and began to pummel the truck driver.

The attack continued as the driver of the truck fell to the floor, with the knife-wielding assailant continuing to punch the truck driver in the head and face.

The assailant then took out his anger on the truck, slashing the tires with the knife before returning to his car.

During the incident, the police had been called, and in just the few moments between the beatdown and the police arriving the assailant fled.

Blocked from behind by another driver, the assailant spun onto the sidewalk and made his getaway down New York Ave. The police arrived moments later, but the man had already disappeared.

New York City EMS treated the injured truck driver and the NYPD is investigating the incident.

    The truck driver blocked the street even though there were many parking spots

      Driver is completely blocking traffic!! While it doesn’t justify what the other person did, he is certainly in the wrong!

    • huh?

      Have you never blocked traffic? If that a reason to beat up someone?
      the assailant is 100% in the wrong, and you defend him? It’s really, really sickening – the story and your reaction.
