A Queens lawyer beat a man who attacked him outside his law office and called the police, reports New York Post.
James Galleshow, 49, left his alleged assailant beaten and bloody after a brawl on Cross Bay Boulevard in Ozone Park. On August 18, he posted photos in Facebook. One of them showed a failed bandit with blood streaming down his face.
Other pictures show blood spattered on the steps outside and a broken glass door with a potted plant.
"I'm fine. Today I was attacked by a random passerby on the street. He made a bad decision and attacked me,” Galleshow wrote. “Only he chose the wrong guy. I'm not a victim."
Galleshow's friends posted over 140 reposts on Facebook. And many applauded that he beat the man.
“Recently, I heard that it’s better not to mess with you. And like a good lawyer, you provided evidence. Glad you're all right, mate," wrote one.
Another remarked: “This hole chose the wrong guy to mess with! Ding-ding-ding, the first round goes to Jay! Seriously, I'm so glad you're okay!”
Another follower wrote: “Glad you gave him a good beating. We need to get them out of New York."

In Precinct 106, home to the Galleshow Law Office, violent crime increased by 35,9%. And the number of petty offenses increased by 21%.
According to an NYPD spokesman, Galleshowe was punched in the torso and injured during the incident, which took place around 15:00 p.m. on August 17.
Galleshow knows the assailant and gave his name to the cop. Now they should arrest him and charge him with assault for a misdemeanor.
The fight broke out after a verbal argument between Galleshaw and the 24-year-old suspect. The latter is accused, among other things, of breaking a glass door and injuring a 35-year-old assistant at the law firm Sullivan & Galleshaw.
Galleshow, a former Brooklyn prosecutor, specializes in both personal injury and criminal defense. And the suspect's name and age, according to court records, match the name and age of a man who was arrested July 12 for disorderly conduct at a public hospital in Manhattan.
