VIDEO: Members of the FDNY jumped into action after witnessing a recent assault in Brooklyn right outside a fire station.
CBS2’s Jenna DeAngelis got a look at surveillance video on Sunday. The clip shows a woman in a blue shirt walking down the sidewalk on Hancock Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant when a man on a bicycle swerves over and punches her in the face, knocking her down.
He speeds off as four people race behind him. The pursuers were firefighters and they continued the chase around a corner, and took the man to the ground.
Meanwhile, others were seen checking on the 60-year-old victim.
“It’s bad. You can’t hit a woman. She’s very nice, the whole family. I grew up with them and they very nice,” said Twin Alzokari of nearby J&A Deli and Grocery.
