A man with a bat beat a bicyclist in the street in Brooklyn. One person stepped in to stop it, but otherwise, no one cared. People just walked by.
Police told WINS-AM the 54-year-old victim was riding his bike in the vicinity of Flatbush and Parkside Avenues around 5:30 p.m. Wednesday when the unprovoked attack occurred.

Comrade kommissar DeBlasio could hire him for community unity outreach czar in his CPUSA administration.
Maybe the bike had a dog whistle on it?
