Police make arrest in fatal punch on 1st Avenue and 11th Street

Police have arrested a 19-year-old Lower East Side resident for delivering a fatal punch during an afternoon argument on Feb. 10 on First Avenue and 11th Street. According to published reports (amNY, the Post), Anthony Fabriani, 60, was arguing with Anthony Larocca, 19, when the teen punched him in the left eye, knocking him to the ground. 

Fabriani, who lived in Sheepshead Bay, slammed his head on the sidewalk when he fell. He was transported to Bellevue for a fractured skull, a fractured orbital bone and swelling of the brain. He died of his injuries on Feb. 23. 

Detectives, who according to amNY classified the death as a homicide, arrested Larocca on Monday. It is not believed the two men knew each other. So far there's no motive for the altercation, per the reports.

Sad for both sides...This punk kid will wake up some day and realize he destroyed at least two lives for...NOTHING.

Yeah, stupid impulsive behavior by a 19-year-old, and one person's life is literally over and another's might as well be. Sad all around.

I don't mind the scooter or the mask situation. I'm more concerned by how forlorn they all seem to be. Heavy heads hanging down, hands folded in hopeless prayer ...

The kid wasn't wearing a mask- wonder if the older man commented on that and the kid punched him?
