A man was randomly bludgeoned with a baseball bat in a broad-daylight attack in the Bronx last week, cops said.

The 37-year-old victim was walking at Aqueduct Avenue and West 183rd Street in University Heights around 2:50 p.m. July 6 when the attacker approached him, police said. 

Without saying a word, the brute whipped out a baseball bat and used it to repeatedly strike the victim in the head, authorities said.
