A 51-year-old man was withdrawing money at an Chase Bank ATM on lower Broadway in Manhattan's Financial District on Sunday afternoon, when a man with a hatched launched into an unprovoked attack on him.
The grisly incident, one of very many occurring in NYC so far this year, occurred near Beaver Street on Broadway at around 5:30pm on Sunday, and was captured by the ATM's security cameras.
New York Post
The video shows the victim focused on the ATM's screen and the assailant approaching with a bag. He then takes the hatchet out of the bag and sneaks up behind the victim, proceeding to slash him viciously in the leg.
The victim winds up bloodier and bloodier as he suffers blow after blow from the hatchet, trying in vain to defend himself.
The assailant then smashes the ATM's screens and calmly walks away. Amazingly, he doesn't steal any money, and even leaves both the weapon and his backpack behind, despite not seeming in any kind of a hurry.
The victim was rushed to hospital and is in stable condition, and expected to recover from his wounds. The assailant, unfortunately, remains at large.
This is an ongoing investigation, and as such, more updates may be available shortly.
People who may have information which could help with this case are asked to please contact the NYPD.
