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.

Soon NYPD officers spotted a crowd, walked over, and witnesses identified a suspect who was standing nearby, the New York Daily News said. He was taken into custody.

Ashanti Robinson, 46, is facing charges of assault, menacing, and criminal possession of a weapon, WINS said. He’s a criminal with 14 priors and doesn’t know the victim.

Just another ordinary day in DeBlasio’s NYC. It’s part of a growing number of third-world destinations that you can visit without leaving the U.S.! Democrats ruined NYC years ago. No thanks, I’ll pass.

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