    A man allegedly went on a rampage in Union Square on September 4 and left a complete stranger dead in the process.

    Police said that the attack may have been a hate crime.

    Friends of Jeffrey Babbitt, 62, were shocked to hear about the random act of violence that left the gentle, retired train conductor in a coma, CBS 2′s Dave Carlin reported on Friday.

    “I don’t believe that. I don’t know why that happened. He is very nice,” Igor Sapozhnikov said.

    Babbitt was minding his own business as he walked through the crowd near the chess boards in Union Square when a man made a hateful announcement and began his rampage, witnesses said. “He said ‘the next white person who walks by I’m going to [expletive],’” one woman said. “His fist went in and the man’s head bobbed and he hit the ground and you could hear his skull hitting the ground.”

    The man continued his rampage before demanding to see police officers.
