BELLIGERENT WHITE MAN YELLING N*GGER TO BLACK COUPLE DINING KNOCKED OUT COLD IN WEST VILLAGE NYC

A drunken man was punched out and sent to a hospital in serious condition last night after he yelled racial epithets at a couple quietly eating at a West Village burrito shop, cops and witnesses said.
The violence went down at about 5:50 p.m. outside the Benny’s Burrito on the Greenwich Avenue and Jane Street.

A black couple was sitting outside at a Mexican joint when “This really belligerent white guy came walking up to them and started yelling out the n-word,” said Benny’s worker Robert Garcia.

“There was some sort of altercation and it made the black guy punch the white guy in the face,” Garcia said. “He was out cold. I thought he was dead.”

When the drunken man fell back he hit his head on the curb and bled profusely.

Cops said Douglas Reddish, 25, was arrested and charged with assault for attacking the man, believed to be in his 30s.

A woman who spoke with the man before he was knocked out said he was upset over his wife leaving him and about his job at Goldman Sachs.

“I felt so bad,” she said. “He could hardly walk.”

The angry white man was taken to Beth Israel Hospital, authorities said.
