A New Jersey man captured on video beating a homeless man days before Christmas in 2011 has been sentenced to three years in prison.

Authorities say Taylor Giresi was filmed by a teenage friend as he beat David Ivins in Wall Township.

Ivins, who wore a thick beard and layers of clothes, was a familiar sight in Wall, Belmar and Lake Como.

The videotape showed Giresi punching and kicking Ivins in the face, bloodying his nose, before telling him, “Merry Christmas.” It was posted on YouTube.

Giresi was sentenced in Monmouth County on Friday morning for conspiring to use a juvenile to commit a crime. Assault charges were dropped in a plea deal.

NJ man accused of stabbing stranger in store

Leave a comment

Bail is set at $1 million for a New Jersey man accused of stabbing a stranger about a dozen times as she pushed her 5-month-old baby in a stroller at a Bed Bath & Beyond.

Monmouth County prosecutors say 19-year-old Tyrik Haynes of Middletown is also accused of setting fire last month to a cat that was later found dead.

A motive for Thursday’s stabbing is under investigation. The victim remained hospitalized Saturday in critical but stable condition. Her child was not injured in the attack.

Prosecutors had asked a judge to keep Haynes’ bail at $1,050,000 during a hearing Friday. He faces numerous charges, including attempted murder and child endangerment. A public defender representing him declined to comment to reporters after the hearing.
