It’s unclear what if anything sparked the assault and if the attacker knew his 43-year-old victim.
The wounded man was taken to Harlem Hospital. His unidentified attacker fled the scene and was still at large, officials said.
The 12-ounce green bottle used to hit the man was taken into evidence by officers on the scene, and a large pool of blood was visible on the sidewalk after the assault, according to photos.
This is a developing story.
