A Chinatown landlord who bitterly spoke out against crime after the high-profile murder of one of his tenants brutally beat an apparent homeless man holding a makeshift weapon Saturday, according to prosecutors and police sources.

The landlord, Brian Chin, 32, was charged with felony assault for the late-night attack that left the vagrant hospitalized with injuries so serious that he was unable to tell investigators his own name, sources said Sunday. 

A police source said the beaten man would be charged with menacing for his role in the fight, which started around 8:30 p.m. near Chrystie and Grand streets in Manhattan.
