Crook caught on tape beating up 62-year-old Catholic School teacher

Do you know this punk?

 

A bullying crook was being hunted by cops Thursday after he punched and knocked down a beloved 62-year-old Brooklyn Catholic school teacher so he could steal her purse, police said.

 

The cowardly assault under a cross was captured on surveillance video. The young assailant ambushes Patricia McGowan from behind as she opens a gate to the Good Shepherd School in Marine Park about 6:40 a.m. Monday.

 

The mugger punches the startled computer teacher in the face, knocking her through the gate and onto the ground. As she shields herself with her hands, the man snatches two bags and runs off.

 

The video then shows McGowan, who has taught at the school for 43years, sitting stunned on the ground, holding her face.

If he is the one who committed the crime then he deserved to be lock away. A guy like that get Louimatazed by the caps would be justifiable. This guy is a threat to society he deserve the maximum sentence for this crime. I could understand why he robbed her but punching a lady that old shows rage, anger. Well I wish him good luck in jail. He better don't let his cell mate found out he robbed and hit an old lady.
