'Bleeding all over': Autistic man punched at New York school
Briefly

A distressing incident occurred at Susan Wagner High School on April 8, where Carmine Menzella, an autistic man, was allegedly punched in the eye by school safety agent Kristo Rodriguez. The assault, which Carmine's mother claims was unprovoked, left her son with a significant injury requiring stitches. The incident, captured on surveillance, led to Rodriguez's arrest and subsequent suspension. Carmine's mother, furious upon seeing her son’s condition, remarked on the emotional toll of witnessing her son’s pain and the severity of the assault.
The incident was captured on surveillance video before Rodriquez was arrested and charged with assault, according to the NYPD and family.
Carmine graduated from Susan Wagner and was there visiting his friends. The woman claims the attack was unprovoked and her son didn't defend himself.
