“The 83-year-old victim was attempting to get off an MTA bus at Barnes Avenue and East Gun Hill Road in Williamsbridge around 5:30 p.m. May 31 when he got into a spat with a younger passenger, cops said,” the New York Post reports. “Things heated up when the suspect poured his bottle filled with a yellow beverage on the older man’s head, as they both stood toward the front of the bus.”

The elderly man repeatedly tries to push the attacker away, but was no match for the much younger man.

According to the NYPD, the attacker repeatedly punched the octogenarian in the face, but it is not shown in the video that they published online.

The attacker fled west on East Gun Hill Road following the assault. He has been described as being between 30 and 40 years old, around 5 feet 11 and 180 pounds, and was last seen wearing a denim jacket, blue jeans, a black hat and black sneakers.

People with information about the suspect are being asked to contact NYC Crime Stoppers, who are offering a reward up to $3,500 for information on his identity.
