NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Police say they've arrested the suspect who was allegedly captured brutally beating a homeless man twice his age at a Brooklyn NYCHA building after the altercation was streamed live on Facebook.
Lytee Knox Hundley turned himself in to police at the 79th Precinct on Saturday night.
Hundley didn't say anything as he was walked from the precinct house for central booking on Sunday.
The 31-year-old allegedly punched a 62-year-old man nine times and stomped his head eight times at a NYCHA building on Tompkins Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The altercation Friday evening started out as an argument but quickly turned physical, police say.
Some of the beating was captured in a Facebook Live stream in which people can be heard laughing in the background despite one man's attempt to stop it.
The victim was taken to Woodhull Hospital, where he was treated for a fractured nose and fractured orbital bone.
Hundley has two prior arrests, including for robbery.
