The NYPD is looking for a man who sucker-punched an 89-year-old man in Hull Avenue on March 9.
Police say the incident happened that day at around 1 p.m. when the suspect and victim got into an argument. The argument intensified after the suspect was seen on video punching the victim, and pushing him to the ground. He then took off in an unknown direction.
Reports say the suspect was a pizza delivery man, carrying what appeared to be a pizza delivery bag.
The victim suffered a busted lip, and declined medical attention.
Meantime, the suspect is described by police as Hispanic, between 20 to 25 years old, and last seen wearing a vest jacket, baseball cap and blue jeans.
Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
