NEW YORK - A man was injured Tuesday in what police are calling a random brick attack in Hell's Kitchen.

It happened around 6 p.m. on the sidewalk outside 360 West 43rd Street.

Police say the attacker broke the brick against the 61-year-old victim's head.

He was caught a short time later and taken to Beth Israel Hospital for a psychological evaluation.

The victim was also taken to an area hospital and is expected to be okay.

Charges against the attacker are pending.
