If you can’t walk on Central Park West without getting punched in the head where can you walk?

It seems to be a mess up there. All of those homeless people in those hotels. Even before they moved them it it was sketchy at times.

The men moved from the Lucerne about a month ago, the neighborhood is very quiet again. However, it's NYC and anything random can happen. I hope Rick has a full recovery soon!

Rick was not even near the guy when they crossed paths. It was so random. But I agree with your assessment about the hotels in the neighborhood being used to house the homeless. I had forgotten that. I wonder if any of the doormen saw the incident for there are several on each block.

I also wonder if it is harder now to identify criminals when everyone is wearing a mask although the fellow was dressed with identifiable clothing.

I guess there is a 2,500 reward for information according to posters in the neighborhood.

I would suspect it could be someone from one of the other hotels still housing them in the area. The Belnord or Belleclair or others. Or not even a homeless person. Agreed, it's NYC.

Once you have something like that happen you pay more attention to the people you cross paths with. Believe me.

Forget that, I'll do it for free.

I can’t believe they have yet to arrest the attacker....

Not unbelievable at all. This type of attack is a gang initiation and has happened to several friends of mine over the past few year and one of the attackers have ever been caught. I honestly didn’t know it was a “thing” that was still happening here until the Moranis attack.

I mean, he was wearing a mask and an I heart NY hoodie. Pretty common around here, I doubt he will be caught.

It just seems like there are so many cameras that they could have practically followed the perp home. I do not think it was gang related... more like mental illness...but then I guess I can only speculate. Even though he had a mask the upper part of his face seems identifiable.

I think we all know this wasn’t gang related lol, it’s a random attack. Sad, absolutely but reality is he probably won’t be caught

Clearly a sociopath.  Commits the assault, then walk away as if he doesn't have a care in the world.

Thank goodness. Sounds like a mental case.

He likes to randomly punch people all over NYC. This time, he committed a felony because it was someone over 65. Given his history, he will probably get about 15 years in prison for this.
