CAMBRIDGE, MA (WFXT/CNN) - The chair throwing starts almost instantly after the man identified by police as Tyleek Solomon charges into the Central Square Dunkin’ Donuts.
And those seated for a morning cup of coffee had almost no warning of the rampage that would escalate for more than a minute on Monday. The first innocent bystander to be whacked in the head by a flying chair was an disabled elderly man who visibly can't get out of the way in time.
The man was stuck sitting right in the middle of the establishment as more chairs, a table, a napkin holder and even a bicycle seat are hurled through the air before a witness helps the man to safety.
A police report explains that he the man has "12 pins and screws on his right leg and walks with a cane."
Why did Solomon allegedly attack so aggressively? Police say Solomon's fury was directed at a 39-year-old man he does know, and with whom he has apparently had a history. The man takes a defensive stance across the dining area as Solomon launches one thing after the next in his direction.
Matters take an even more alarming turn after the older man is thrown to the ground, punched repeatedly and even stomped on during the suspect's reported fit of rage.
