A brute slugged an elderly man who refused to let him inside the lobby of a Manhattan apartment building over the weekend, authorities said.
The 79-year-old victim was in the lobby of his building near East 23rd St. and Third Ave. in Gramercy Park just after 6 p.m. Saturday when a stranger asked him to open a door and let him inside, cops said.
The senior refused to do so – prompting a violent scuffle that ended with the menace punching the senior in the face, police said.
The attacker then took off, heading west on East 23rd St.
