Police are searching for a man they say punched a 53-year-old customer at the Penn Station McDonald’s and demanded his wallet, then brutally beat him to the ground, according to authorities.
Surveillance video from inside the restaurant located on Seventh Avenue shows the suspected attacker walking behind the customer as he attempts to place an order at the kiosk around 7:45 p.m. Monday.
The two get into a fight and the victim ends up on the ground, the suspect is seen standing over him. Punches are thrown when the victim is seen against a wall while the attack continues.
He then kicks the victim in the head and takes his phone and wallet before running out of the McDonald’s towards Penn Station.
The victim was taken to a hospital with a serious head injury and had been in critical condition since early Tuesday morning.
Anyone with information about the attack can confidentially call Crime Stoppers at 1-888-57-PISTA.
