A 73-year-old man died the day after a group of young people beat him with a traffic cone in a caught-on-camera attack along a North Philadelphia street on June 24, 2022. Philadelphia has offered a $20,000 reward.
."The victim was transported to the hospital where he died of his injuries the following day."
The video shows the young people leaving the site of the attack. One even hopped on a scooter and appeared to be talking with another young person walking alongside him in the moments after the attack. A young person is also seen running down the sidewalk. "Even I can't comprehend that teenagers would beat an old person in the street for no apparent reason," said Tania Stephens, Lambert's niece.
Later, the young people appear to have gathered again. One teen is then seen acting out what appears to be a stumbling person.Police didn't give exact descriptions of any of the young people, except to point out a blonde patch of hair on one of them. They hope this photo that shows each person from different camera angles helps identify them.
Police urged anyone who spots the teens to call 911 immediately. Anyone with information about the attack is asked to submit tips by phone or text to 215-686- orLambert's family told NBC Philadelphia's that he went by"Simmie" and they have been left heartbroken by his death.His family tells me they’re heart broken and they saw him just hours before he was attacked.
