Brute punches senior in Brooklyn: cops

Police are on the hunt for a brute who punched a 68-year-old man in Brooklyn earlier this month.

According to police sources, the incident unfolded at around 11 a.m. on Dec. 7 directly outside of 315 58th St. in Sunset Park. Cops say the victim engaged in a verbal dispute with the suspect just prior to the attack.
