The assault was captured on surveillance video. The complaint states the video showed a man, identified as Harrison, push the victim down and "curb stomp" him. With the victim unconscious and bleeding, Harrison and another man – identified as Morales – allegedly took things from the victim's pockets and left the scene. It played out over the course of roughly three minutes.
The compliant states police later recovered the victim's social security card, debit cards, health care card and driver's license from Harrison.
On Dec. 27, police interviewed Harrison.
