Current Events > Horrible attack on man does not make national headlines. Why is that?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Police in New York say a man who was knocked unconscious in an attack was then robbed by other people as he laid in the middle of a Bronx intersection.

It happened about 6:10 a.m. on Monday June 18 at the corner of Aqueduct Avenue and Buchanan Place. Police say the 37-year-old man was walking at the location when he was approached by two unidentified men. One of them then punched the victim in the head, causing him to fall to the ground in the middle of the intersection.

The thugs then walked away. While the victim remained on the ground, unconscious, other people came up to him and began to go through his pockets, removing his phone and ID.

The NYPD released video of the incident and descriptions of the individuals.

The attacker is described as Hispanic, in his 20s, with a medium complexion, medium build, black hair and a black, trimmed beard. He has tattoos on both of his forearms. He was last seen wearing a yellow baseball hat with a triangle shaped logo, a white t-shirt, denim shorts and black sneakers with yellow trim.

The second suspect is Hispanic, in his 20s, with a light complexion, a slim build, black hair and a black beard. He has a tattoo on his right forearm. He was last seen wearing a light blue Yankees baseball hat, a light blue t-shirt and a yellow t-shirt, a black belt around his torso, camouflage cargo pants and black boots.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). Police say that all calls are confidential.

Also, I can only imagine why TC is so concerned about this.

Violence is way way WAY too common for every murder or assault to make headlines.

As much as I can see where you're going with this, this is the worst possible way to try to get there.
