The attacker can be heard saying, “I’ll kill you!” on camera as Carson pleads with him and raises his hand.
In the security footage, his girlfriend can be heard shouting, “Please, please, please!”
Carson falls over the couch he had been sitting on before the attacker knocked him to the ground and struck him several times with a knife.
He then spits on the girlfriend, kicks Carson’s body and storms off.
Carson’s girlfriend held him in her arms before he was taken to Kings County Hospital Center, where he later died.
Carson worked as a senior solid waste campaign manager at the New York Public Interest Research Group – and was remembered as someone who tried to make the world a better place.
In a statement, NYPIRG called Carson “a beloved employee, colleague and friend, and a creative, talented, relentless and optimistic advocate for students and the environment.”
Carson’s friend and roommate Tom Krantz, 31, told the Post that it was remarkable “how much (Carson) actually did for the whole town and for his friends.”
“He really is the epicenter of an entire community that he created and brought together.

‘I don’t think anyone is exaggerating when they say he would give the shirt off his back. He was the man who bent over and over again to be there with his friends.”
State Assemblymember Emily Gallagher, a friend of Carson’s, said, “You know it’s hard when the person you’re going to talk to about grief is the one who passed away. It was very difficult to understand.’
New York City Councilmember Chi Ossé also said, “I am shocked to learn today of the brutal murder of attorney Ryan Carson in Brooklyn. This tireless defender of his neighbors was stolen from us. Dedicated to ending this senseless violence, my heart is with his family.”
