Tourist dies after being punched in the head in Queens
A tourist from Florida died after he was attacked in Queens over the weekend, according to reports on Tuesday.
Boca Raton resident Sabor Szabo, 35, succumbed to injuries he suffered during an assault in Long Island City early Sunday, loved ones and co-workers told WPEC-TV.
“I hope they find him (the killer) and bring him to justice,” co-worker Josh Gillon said. “This was really a stupid, stupid act. It’s a big family and he was an important part of it so everybody is just heartbroken.”
Szabo — in town for his stepsister’s wedding — was leaving his brother’s LIC hotel and looking for the ride he had called, family and friends told WPEC.
He was knocking on car windows to see which one was his ride, Szabo’s loved one said. That’s when an unidentified man got out of one of the cars that Szabo had knocked on, and punched the tourist in the head, friends said.
The attack happened in front of 41-10 29th St. in LIC at 1:15 a.m. Sunday, according to the NYPD. Szabo fell and hit his head hard on the pavement, losing consciousness immediately.
