Bayside Photographer Attacked at Home

On March 3, at 6:15 PM, when Jay York opened the door of his home on Wilmot Street to walk his dog he was confronted by a white male whom he’d never seen before who was sitting on the steps smoking a cigarette. York’s description of the man is about six feet tall, 190 to 195 pounds, between 26 and 36 years of age. He said the man had dark hair and was wearing a dark jacket and dark jeans.
The man became confrontational and aggressive after being asked to move from the steps. When York stepped back inside to dial 911, the man also came in and knocked the phone from York’s hand. York then picked up a softball stick and hit the man, without wanting to harm him unduly. After scuffling inside and outside, while still maintaining his hold on the stick, York was able to get back in his home to call police.
They were not able to locate the assailant.
