A homeless man with a history of mental illness is accused of randomly assaulting a 6-year-old boy near his grandmother’s house in New York City on Thursday, reports said.

The child was sitting on the steps of his grandparents’ home near Metropolitan Avenue in Queens. The man walked up to their driveway at around 5 p.m., said Rabbi Naftali Portnoy, the boy’s grandfather.
