New York cops hunting a bat-wielding man who attacked a woman in the front yard of her New York home in November released video Thursday of the frightening encounter.
The stranger launched the attack outside the Wyandanch home around 3:30 a.m. on Nov. 13, 2018, Suffolk County police said. Surveillance video released by police captured the man, appearing to wear dark clothing and a hat, walking up the driveway with a baseball bat in his hand.
He appears to raise the bat and take a swing before the video cuts off.
