A 91-year-old New York man who was viciously shoved to the ground by a stranger who tried to snatch his wallet warned his attacker that he would’ve “kicked his ass” if he was a few decades younger.
The brute pounced on Hyman Silverglad as he was walking on East 86th Street near First Avenue at about 10:30 a.m. on Feb. 1, knocking him to the ground and unloading punches as he tried to grab the Silverglad’s wallet, police said.
But the assailant ran off empty-handed when the nonagenarian began to shout, police sources said.
“I cough and I’m almost dead,” he told The Post in an interview at his hospital bed on Wednesday. “I tell you if I was young I would run after this mother-freaker and beat the shoot out of him and kick his ass and he’ll forget being a criminal.
