“All our silences in the face of assault are acts of complicity”: Meet Muslim man Karim Azizi of NYC Manhattan arrested over an assault in which he allegedly pulled a baseball bat from his pants and hit a man on the street in the back of the head

A 36-year-old man suspected of battering a pedestrian across the head with a baseball bat on an NYC street was arrested and paraded in front of the press on Wednesday afternoon.

Karim Azizi was arrested from his house in Harlem on Wednesday morning - just around the corner from where he is accused of attacking a 47-year-old man last Tuesday.
A police source told DailyMail.com 'a preliminary investigation suggests that there was a verbal altercation between the two,' but would not say how long prior to the attack the incident occurred or provide any other details.
The arrest came just days after police published surveillance footage of the brutal attack, which happened at around 8am outside of a Chinese takeaway in Hamilton Heights.
Azizi was arrested on charges of attempted assault, assault and criminal possession of a weapon.
Azizi appeared sheepish in a video of the perp-walk, as hoards of press photographed him being escorted towards a squad car with shackled legs.
He remained unresponsive to comments, seeming calm, and was relatively smartly dressed.

The arrest came after police released video footage of the brutal incident which shows the suspect walking behind the victim outside a Chinese takeaway Golden Wok on 1770 Amsterdam Avenue.
He sped up slightly to catch a glimpse of the man's face and fumbled with the baseball bat, which was being stowed in the right leg of his pants.
The man with the bat, suspected to be Azizi, was wearing a black tracksuit outfit with Nike branding on his top. He was also wearing a mask that covered much of his face, but which slipped from time to time.
The pedestrian he struck was in a red puffer jacket.
He then pulls the bat fully from his pants before swinging it with force at the 47-year-old's head from behind, causing him to immediately collapse forward.
The suspect then walks away before shortly returning to taunt the man on the ground before making off for good.
The victim was rushed to a hospital in Harlem with a gash to his head and bruises but was in a stable condition after the attack.
