A Brooklyn man is in a coma in critical condition after he was assaulted by a man who threatened to "punch the first white man I see," authorities said Saturday.
Neighbors of the victim, Jeffrey Babbitt, 62, were in shock after learning of the Wednesday attack in Manhattan.
The Manhattan district attorney's office has charged Lashawn Marten, 31, of Manhattan, with second- and third-degree assault. Police are investigating the attack as a possible hate crime, an NYPD spokesman said.
