On April 30 at around 2:18 a.m. the suspect — described as a Hispanic man — approached the two victims from behind as they walked infront of 1675 Madison St. in Ridgewood, according to police.
In the video, the suspect can be seen strongly punching a 45-year-old victim in the face and knocking him unconscious.
