This Dude Got A Black Eye And Split Lips After Being Assaulted With A Snickers

Snickers-Assault

A resident of Bushwick, Brooklyn, was assaulted by man with a candy bar. While waiting on the subway platform, Ian Sklarsky was approached by a stranger holding a partially unwrapped Snickers bar.

The stranger, 35-year-old Eliexer Reyes, then punched Sklarsky with the chocolate bar. Reyes walked off, but Sklarsky called after him. This prompted Reyes to come back and strike Sklarsky five more times.

After a witness dialed 911, Reyes was arrested and taken into custody.

The two men have no connection to each other, but Reyes had been arrested before for assault. Sklarsky had been living in the city for five years prior to this incident. He tells Gothamist that he’s never experienced anything like this before and that his time living in the city had been great.

Sklarsky was left with a black eye, a bruised nose and two split lips. Reyes is currently being held on $500 bail. He’s facing charges for assault that caused injury and disorderly conduct.
