A Brooklyn brute was nabbed this week for allegedly bashing a 71-year-old man within the head with a shovel – simply days after cops say he stole ribeye steak from his native grocery store.
Sean P. Abt, 24, was arrested Tuesday night and charged with assault in connection to the random Dec. 27 assault on the septuagenarian at Stryker Courtroom and West 1 Road in Gravesend, police stated.
The weird shovel assault got here as a post-Christmas storm blanketed the Massive Apple in about 4 inches of snow.
The sufferer was taken to Coney Island Hospital, the place he was listed in steady situation, cops stated.
Abt, of Sheepshead Bay, was additionally charged Tuesday for allegedly shoplifting from his neighborhood Cease & Store, police stated.
He allegedly stole ribeye steak and different beef from the shop on Avenue Y close to East seventeenth Road on Dec. 23, authorities stated.
Abt has no different arrests on his document, except for the vacation season mayhem, cops stated.
His arraignments in connection to these instances had been pending Wednesday.
