Surveillance video shows the suspect approach the 49-year-old victim. The suspect, who appears to be agitated, then knocks the hat off the victim's head. When the victim walks away in an attempt to leave, the suspect punches him repeatedly from behind, forcing him into a fence and ultimately knocking him to the ground.

The victim was hospitalized in serious condition.
