The shocking footage was acquired by the New York Post, who posted it to illustrate the horrific details of the incident in Manhattan, New York.
In the footage, a 51-year-old man is shown standing inside a Chase bank on Broadway near Beaver Street in the Financial District while a man holding a hatchet approaches him from behind.

As the injured victim keeps his attacker at bay, the assailant returns to hit him with the hatchet once more. Footage shows the man tumbling to the ground after being knocked down, and the assailant approaches the cash dispensing machines, smashes them, and then casually drops the weapon and walks away.

The victim was brought to Bellevue Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. The victim told the news source that “a man was there with a hatchet and [struck] my head … and my leg.”
Citizens on the Upper East Side told police that a 37-year-old man matched the attacker’s description. In addition, the police took him to Bellevue Hospital for an evaluation. It was not until Tuesday night that the suspect had not been charged, according to the New York Post.
