Video allegedly captures fight between Chinatown landlord Brian Chin and menacing homeless man
“I just wanted to get home to my wife and kids,’’ Brian Chin, 32, said he remembered thinking as the madman began wildly swinging a nail-studded piece of wood at him.
Fla. mom left with 'catastrophic' injuries when she, baby are struck by migrant Amazon driver who fled “I was like, ‘Whoa, dude, dude, don’t let me call the cops.’ Something about the word ‘cops’ just triggered him.Chin said he briefly left to go to his nearby office to use the bathroom, then returned — because the horrific slaying of his renter Christina Yuna Lee two years ago still haunts him.
“That’s when he pulled the club from his back, raised it above his head and started charging at me,’’ Chin said.“As he is swinging towards me, I back up, and I just dodge and try to step out of the way,’’ Chin said. “At this point, I’m just scared for my life.The man then paused, and Chin said he saw his chance to get the club away from him.
The vagrant was hospitalized with wounds bad enough that he was unable to tell cops his name, police sources have said. He had no ID on him at the time.Chin said he left the man with a bloody nose — and that the guy’s more severe “8- or 9-inch’’ head wound was from when he stumbled after cops arrived, grabbed onto an unsteady newsstand box in front of him and fell backward onto the pavement.
While he feared he would be killed during Saturday’s confrontation, Chin said, “I’m now even more scared for my life — I’m looking at seven years’’ behind bars over his felony assault rap.
