Man, 82, killed after bumping into elderly maniac on NYC street: sources
Story by Amanda Woods, Steven Vago • 10h

An 82-year-old man died weeks after he accidentally bumped into an elderly neighbor who violently shoved him to the ground during a Manhattan stroll, cops and sources said Thursday.

Dana Escoffier, 79, allegedly threw Dean Conover Whetzel onto a West Village sidewalk, leading him to hit his head during an argument after the pair mistakenly walked into one another around 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 11, according to cops and sources.

“I pushed him because he bumped into me,” Escoffier allegedly blurted out in front of a witness on Hudson Street near West 11th Street before he fled the scene, prosecutors said.

I'm now 78 and my strength at 70 was much greater.  This wasn't just a couple old geezers getting into it, the 70-year-old guy had a major advantage.
