Random attack on 6th Ave - please be careful
PSA: I was just sucker punched by this psycho on 6th Ave between 5th and 6th, in broad daylight. This man elbow'ed me with full force, completely out of the blue. I was next to my SO, walking our dog.
I was stunned for a few seconds, then yelled at him. He kept walking as if nothing had happened. I considered confronting him, but I didn't want to risk escalating the situation.
Please stay alert and be safe out there.

UPDATE (next morning): just came back from CityMD: have a bruise and a tenderness, but doesn't look like a fractured rib. I also filled a police report. The officers from NYPD 78th Precinct were courteous and respectful, took all information, photos, and will send to a detective.
Per their advice: hopefully it won't happen again, but if it ever happens, call 911 on the spot. This way they can send someone to check right away.
