A 64-year-old New York man was beaten with a rock in a brutal attack on a Brooklyn subway platform this weekend, cops said.
Intazar Dar was on his way home from work when he was randomly attacked at the Avenue H station in Midwood just before 1 a.m. on Saturday, according to police.
Dar said he works as a security guard in lower Manhattan and first noticed his alleged attacker mumbling loudly and pacing onboard the Q train.
When the train pulled into the Avenue H station, the victim said the shirtless suspect got off and started arguing with him.
The suspect then jumped onto the tracks, grabbed a rock, and pulled himself back onto the platform.
Surveillance footage released by cops showed the unidentified suspect shoving Dar on the platform as the victim tried to approach the turnstiles.
The suspect then allegedly bashed Dar in the head repeatedly with the rock, causing him to lose consciousness, according to police.
His alleged attacker was caught on video fleeing the station and cops said they are still trying to track him down.
“This is the first time it’s happened in my life in New York City, but now I’m scared,” Dar told the outlet.
“It’s been two years since I’ve been doing my job — I don’t have any problem with this place … now I see a lot of homeless people – they make me scared.”
Dar was taken to Maimonides Medical Center where he was treated for head trauma and later released.
The victim said he still suffers from swelling to his head and will likely have to take at least a week off work to recover.
Police described his alleged attacker as a male in his 30s, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, and weighing about 170 lbs with brown eyes and black hair.
