A 36-year-old man who hit a pedestrian over the head with a baseball bat on a New York street has been arrested by police.
Karim Azizi was arrested Wednesday morning for attacking a 47-year-old pedestrian in Harlem on November 29.
The victim was unknown to the alleged attacker Azizi, and the assault was completely arbitrary, the New York police told TMZ.
Azizi was charged with attempted assault, assault and criminal possession of a weapon on Wednesday.
