7-year-old boy in critical condition after homeless man slams boy head first into the ground in random attack

A 7-year-old New York boy is in critical but stable condition after a homeless man picked him up and slammed him headfirst into the ground while he and his brother were waiting for pizza to be delivered outside their grandfather’s house.

The incident happened just before 5 p.m. on Monday afternoon in the Kew Gardens neighborhood of Queens in New York City.

“This emotionally deranged individual came into my driveway, picked up my grandson and slammed him to the ground,” said Neftali Portnoy, the unnamed boys grandfather told ABC News’ New York station WABC.

The other boy immediately ran inside the home screaming for the parents who were inside the house at the time.
