Police believe that Michael A. Kelly, 53, attacked the attorney on Tuesday because the attorney was representing a relative of Kelly’s in an ongoing probate court case.

Earlier this year, a Queens attorney was bludgeoned to death.

At about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Kelly attacked the attorney, a man in his 60s, in the Ross Garage. Kelly struck as the attorney was approaching his vehicle, which was parked in the garage. Kelly sprayed the attorney with wasp-killer, and then hit him in the head with a hatchet. A witness said that the attack happened on the third floor of the city-owned garage. On Wednesday night, police said that they were looking for two suspects in connection with the attack, but later stated that they felt Kelly was the only assailant involved. A previous witness statement that noted two attackers turned out to be false.
