(QUEENS, N.Y.) A doorman was assaulted inside a Queens apartment building after he asked another man to leave the premises on Saturday, according to PIX 11.
Police released footage of the incident, which took place at around 9:18 p.m. near the corner of 68th Drive and Queens Boulevard in the Forest Hills section of the borough, according to the New York City Police Department.
The doorman, 69, was in the building's basement when he approached a non-resident and asked him to leave, officials said.
