The enraged father of a Bronx high school football star fatally stabbed in a parking lot braw last week, Andre Muller, threw the first punch in the attack, a newly released surveillance video shows.
The video shows Andre instigating the deadly June 28, 2011 confrontation in the Bronx, punching one attendant with his fist and going after the men with a snow shovel.
The video begins with Muller speaking to the attendants, whom he had accused of stealing a $200 bottle of cologne that was a graduation present to his son, Isayah. The workers are seen letting Andre search their backpacks and office desk.
The elder Muller was arrested and charged with assault and weapons possession. He is due back in court next month.
Andre was the only one charged in the fight — which came on the day of Isayah’s graduation from Truman HS.
Cops have refused to charge the attendants in the death, saying they acted in self-defense.
There have been no arrests made and the investigation remains ongoing.
