An 80-year-old man who was chatting with a friend on a Brooklyn street Thursday morning was mercilessly slashed across the face by a menace with a lengthy rap sheet, cops and sources said. The octogenarian and his pal were talking at Knickerbocker Avenue and Troutman Street in Bushwick around 6:30 a.m. when 56-year-old Israel Rivera allegedly approached the pair. "I'm going to cut you," he hissed before he knifed the older man across the face. The unidentified victim was taken to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center, where he was treated for the lacerations on his face.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins told ABC7, "We are pleased to announce Mr. Gathron has been found guilty of numerous counts. Most importantly in the murder of Mrs. Huang, an 88-year-old grandmother who simply out doing her morning exercise. He is now being held accountable, finally, after so many years for this family having to wait to receive justice."
