51yo man attacked by man wielding hatchet in Manhattan ATM

Disturbing new surveillance video shows the moment a 51-year-old man was brutally attacked by a hatchet-wielding maniac while at a Lower Manhattan ATM.

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 wounded man was hospitalized in stable condition, police said. Cops hope the surveillance video helps them catch the maniac, sources said.

1. You don't see this in towns of 10,000 people.

Oh, wait, you do. But in a town of 8MM people, this is news?

Now come on, people.  It's obvious why this wasn't newsworthy.

The victim's of the privileged class while the attacker's of a politically-correct race.

The National Hatchet Association doesn't care about lives or the number of deaths they cause. They just want to wrap themselves in the BLM and LGBTIALMNOP+ flags and their Constitutional "rights" to bear hatchets.

1. I grew up in a town growing from 10,000 to 15,000. No hatchet attacks during the 18 years or so I lived there. Nor since, AFAIK, with the population now north of 50K.

2. Let me guess at the reason(s) Star Moron OAITW r.2.0 was so callously dismissive: 1. The attacker is a politically-wrong color; 2. 1. The attacker is one of the Sacred Homeless population; 3. The victim is the politically-wrong color or of an un-PC minority ancestry.

That was my first thought just from the DUmp's responses, without looking at the article.  Just some down brother giving the Man what he deserves.  Nothing to note.
