Homeless maniac goes on wild NYC punching spree, ending in lobby of One Vanderbilt skyscraper

A homeless maniac went on a wild punching spree in Midtown Tuesday — randomly attacking three men, including one in the lobby of the fancy One Vanderbilt skyscraper, cops and sources said. Jordan Velez, 29, first allegedly punched an unsuspecting 61-year-old man in the face on Madison Avenue near East 40th Street around 12:15 p.m., according to authorities and sources. He went on to randomly strike a 34-year-old man just outside the 73-story skyscraper at the corner of East 42nd Street and Vanderbilt Avenue – before storming inside the lobby of the iconic building and dealing another blow to a 23-year-old man, the sources said. None of the victims of the broad-daylight spree appeared to be related, according to the sources. The oldest victim was taken to NYU Langone Health, where he was listed in stable condition, while the two younger men refused medical attention, cops said.It was not immediately clear whether the victims were New Yorkers or tourists. The building is home to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt, an observation deck that allows visitors to take in panoramic city skyline views and immersive art installations. Velez was arrested about 15 minutes later and charged with misdemeanor assault, authorities said. His arraignment was pending Wednesday in Manhattan Criminal Court, where he has no other open cases, prosecutors said....
