A thug followed a stranger into a Queens deli and repeatedly stabbed him in the buttocks, cops said today.

The assault, seen on shocking surveillance footage, occurred inside the store on 63rd Road in Rego Park around 5:45 p.m. Sunday.

The video shows the thug – wearing a white T-shirt, grey sweat pants and a black cap – enter the store before quickly pouncing on his unsuspecting victim and violently stabbing him in the buttocks several times before bolting from the store.

And someone will defend this individual.

Was he Greek?

[humblegunner]

“Justice for Trayvon” is a pain in the ass.

[Da Coyote]

Read the article without seeing the pic.

Had suspicions.

Viewed the video.

Suspicions confirmed.

If only the Government gave this man more money, he wouldn’t have to stab random people in the behind.

Looks more like a prison style shanking and also a hit, there is more to this story.

[freedomlover]

I’ll bet that didn’t sit well with the victim.

[PowderMonkey]

What a surprise. Yet another “random” knife attack by a member of the white T-shirt Mafia. Motive unknown... /s

[laweeks]

Gee golly! Was the perp a descendant of the formerly frowned upon slave trade here in America? Huh? Did he look like Obastard’s son?

[ConservativeStatement]

And a division of the “grey sweat pants” movement.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Has the local police chief ruled out terrorism yet?

"You have my undivided attention."

Gang initiation

[Bon mots]

The video shows the thug – wearing a white T-shirt, grey sweat pants and a black cap – enter the store before quickly pouncing on his unsuspecting victim and violently stabbing him in the buttocks several times before bolting from the store.

There is a missing piece of information that is highly descriptive and helpful to the community that appears to have been withheld from this otherwise informative report.

There is an excellent description of the offender's attire - but this is easy to change...
His headgear is succinctly described....

[kreitzer]

He’ll be working a voting booth near you.

[Bringbackthedraft]

Could it be a love affair gone sour??

[jsanders2001]

Probably a stupid initiation ritual by a stupid gang member.

[ArcadeQuarters]

Yup. “doesn’t seem to be any motive”, “completely random” and no description of the suspect other than clothing. The description leaves behind a perfectly formed silhouette.

[kabar]

Hate crime? Looks like he followed the victim in from the street. He was probably tailing him, pun intended, for a while. What I found interesting is that the victim didn’t look back or turn around while being repeatedly stabbed.

[SoCal Pubbie]

At least his problems are all behind him now.
