In video obtained exclusively by Eyewitness News, 18-year-old Ethan Maddi can be seen sitting on a stoop eating his lunch when out of nowhere, a man approaches and smashes Maddi in the face with a brick.
The suspect then runs away before returning to grab Maddi's backpack and then disappears down the block."I don't even remember what I got for lunch," Maddi said."When he hit me he broke my left orbital and my left sinus, had a laceration outside and inside the lip, and he hit my neck," Maddi said.
"It is terrifying. You hear of your son being attacked with a brick the first thing you think is like brain injury, what's gonna happen what does this mean," Ethan Maddi's mother Yndhira Maddi said. "I do feel that this is a bigger problem. There's a lot of people they have mental illness that is not being treated, they have so much that's happening with unemployment," Yndhira Maddi said.
