On November 21st, Cesar Martinez, 70, was at 10th Street and Alton Road when a man walked up from behind and hit him in the back of the head. A Good Samaritan rushed to Martinez’s side to help him as another passerby filmed the man as he walked away. Martinez was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital where he was treated.
