A disturbing video captured an assailant sucker-punching an 85-year-old man in an Upper East Side park, marking the latest in a string of attacks on the elderly.
The video, released Wednesday, shows a man clad in a puffy black jacket and a red knit cap, creep up behind the victim as he’s walking through a Carl Schurz Park promenade at E. 90th St. and East End Ave. at about 3 p.m. Tuesday.
He winds his arm back, and the screen fades out before the blow connects.
A moment later, the attacker, his arm outstretched and fist still balled up, walks backwards, away from the victim.
