Apparently the knockout game is rearing its ugly head again. Will there be outrage for this senseless act of racial violence?

NYPD has released security video of a black male in his 20s assaulting a 72-year-old man, who appears to be white, walking down the street in the West Village on Monday afternoon. After the man fell to the ground, police say the suspect ran to the other side of the street to an awaiting black male. Police are now looking for both suspects.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the elderly man is a bookseller who was walking and listening to his iPod when he was attacked out of nowhere. The report says that he was treated at Beth Israel Hospital for a bruised cheek and bleeding on the brain. The man is listed in stable condition.

It is asked that anyone with information call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or visit the website www.NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.
