"I ran after him. I met him in front of the elevator. I told him, 'Sir, I'm very, very sorry. I cannot permit you to go up.' That set off the unhinged Dardashty, who yelled at the doorman. Suddenly he jumped at me. I don't know why. I tried to go away from him but I didn't know what to do."
"He jumped at me, pushed me and I fell down. He picked up the metal ramp and threw it at me and it hit me on the left side of my face around my left eye and the bone under the eye broke, and the nose. After he threw the ramp he jumped on me. That's how I think he broke my vertebrae."
"After he hit me so many times I said, 'Stop, sir, it's too much.' I called for help, 'Help me, help me.' Nobody heard me. I called out to God, 'Stop him, please, he wants to kill me.'"
Nicolaie Lica, a 71-year-old doorman who worked at a West 88th Street building since 1998, was violently assaulted by Moshe Dardashty, 29, after refusing him entry to the building around midnight on March 8. When Lica politely stopped Dardashty from accessing the seventh floor, the man attacked him with extreme force. Dardashty threw a metal ramp at Lica's face, breaking his eye socket and nose, then jumped on him, fracturing his vertebrae. Lica remained respectful throughout, calling his attacker "sir" even while pleading for help. Police and prosecutors indicated Dardashty also beat Lica with a broom during the assault.
