East Village unprovoked attack leaves man dead
68-year-old Wen Hui Ruan was walking home on East Sixth Street between avenues C and D, at around 8:43pm, when a suspect came up from behind, yelled at him and started attacking.
Surveillance video from the scene shows the man pushing Ruan against a wall, shoving him to the ground, then punching and stomping him on the head. He then casually walks away after the attack.
