Surveillance footage captured a disturbing physical assault of two young women in a Brooklyn, New York deli over the weekend.
The video captures the attack, which happened at 1.15am on Sunday morning at a deli on Utica Avenue near Sterling Place. A young man puts his bag down and suddenly punches the two women, knocking one down, before calmly appearing to walk away.
The store clerk and a woman at an ATM also appear in the surveillance video, although they don't appear to be affected by the assault.
The attacker, who remains at large, appears to be in his 30s.
