NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) — A 65-year-old man was punched in a random assault while inside of a Brooklyn deli at the end of last month, and police released surveillance images of the suspect on Friday.

It happened inside Kolly Deli Grocery, located at 2520 Linden Boulevard in East New York, at about 5:45 p.m. on June 20.
