The mentally deranged walking the streets

A stranger punched a man in the face in an unprovoked attack on a downtown Brooklyn street early Wednesday, cops said. 

The 67-year-old victim was walking on Willoughby Street near Lawrence Street, steps from the Jay Street-MetroTech subway station, around 7 a.m. when the brute suddenly slugged him without saying a word, police said.

The impact caused the victim to hit his head on a parked car and on the pavement, cops said. 

The victim was taken to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn, where he was listed in stable condition, police said. 

The suspect, described as a man with a dark complexion and a slim build, between 25 and 35 years old and around 6 feet tall, fled.
