A homeless man attacked two children — a 16-year-old girl and
her 9-year-old brother — with his fists and a piece of wood in a
Brooklyn public housing project, police said.
“They were in the lobby waiting for a bus,” a police spokesman
said Tuesday. “Then all of a sudden, he just attacks them.”
Charles Matthews hit both siblings in the head at about 7 a.m.
at 869 Flushing Ave. in the Bushwick Houses, cops said.
The victims were hospitalized with minor injuries.
The suspect then attacked a 42-year-old woman in another
building in the same housing complex minutes later, cops said.
Her condition wasn’t immediately known.
Matthews, who was captured on video at the scene wearing a
yellow shirt, ran off after the attack, but was caught by cops a
few blocks away on Broadway near Park Avenue, authorities said.
He was arrested on charges of assault, endangering the welfare
of a child and criminal possession of a weapon.
