On Monday night, new video of the suspects wanted for attacking 58-year-old Yemeni Brooklyn store owner Jamal Sawaid was released by the NYPD. The footage comes three days after Sawaid suffered a brutal beating inside his own Coney Island smoke shop.
In the video, four men are seen fleeing Mermaid Avenue before getting into a white pickup truck. Sawaid told CBS2 on Sunday that three men assaulted him without reason and that a fourth stood outside guarding the store. “I smile like in his face and I think he joking … and he hit me right away.”
“He hit me with a stick. More than one, more than three, more than four, more than five,” Sawaid said. “I never see them before. I don’t have no problem with nobody. No problem with anyone in the community. I have to find out what’s the problem. Why they come to my place and they just struck my head? And they hit me only in the head, in my head, in my head. They want to kill me. For what reason?”
