| Shocking video shows bloody hatchet attack at Manhattan ATM | |
| 2021-08-18 | |
I understand that police can't be everywhere, and I wouldn't want them there. But they should be somewhere.
The footage, obtained by The Post on Tuesday, shows the victim at one of the ATMs inside a Chase Bank vestibule on Broadway near Beaver Street in the Financial District shortly before 5:30 p.m. Sunday when his attacker walks in, removes a hatchet from a dark bag, sneaks up behind him and begins slashing him. The frightened and bloodied victim tries to fend off the brutal assault, falling to the floor several times as he futilely attempts to grab his crazed assailant’s weapon, the footage shows. When the unidentified suspect is finished beating his victim, he smashes the screens of the cash-dispensing machines before walking away — and leaving the hatchet and his backpack behind, according to police. The maimed man was hospitalized in stable, pH balanced condition, police said. Cops hope the surveillance video helps them catch the maniac, sources said. | |

| #1 Looks like a Racist Hate Crime to me. Why isn't it being reported as a BLOM racial attack? |
