A maniac punched a senior citizen in the face and left him with a broken jaw after chasing him down near the Barclays Center, police and sources said on Sunday.
The 68-year-old was walking near Flatbush and Atlantic avenues when a stranger started a verbal fight that quickly turned violent on March 31 around 12:05 a.m., according to cops.
The victim allegedly tried to walk away but the goon chased him and slugged him in the face, leading the elderly man to fall to the ground.
The victim was taken to a local hospital where he was listed in stable condition with multiple fractures and lacerations, police said.
The brute fled the scene and has yet to be caught.
Police released surveillance footage of the attacker in the hopes of nabbing him.
