BRONX - A dispute over gaining entry to the lobby of an apartment building could have led to a vicious beat down by a barefoot attacker, cops said.

At around 2:30 pm on September 2, a 66-year-old man used his key to gain access the lobby of his apartment building in the vicinity of West 169 Street and Nelson Avenue. Cops said another man tried to enter the building alongside the tenant who questioned whether he lived in the building.
