NEW YORK CITY (TIP): A Brooklyn man was bludgeoned to death with a dumbbell Wednesday, March 14, by a man he tried to put the moves on, police said.
Clifford Williams, 60, met the 21-year-old suspect on the street outside his apartment on Willoughby Ave. near Marcus Garvey Blvd. in Bedford-Stuyvesant shortly before 2 a.m., sources said.
The pair went up to Williams’ fifth-story apartment, where Williams came on to the suspect, cops said.
The younger man allegedly grabbed a dumbbell and smashed Williams in the head.
Williams’ stepfather, who also lives there, called 911.
The septuagenarian was rushed to Woodhull Hospital, where he died, according to authorities.
The suspect remained in the apartment, where cops took him into custody pending charges.
