The incident occurred at approximately 4:20pm. Following an initial dispute, the four suspects — approximately 16 to 17 years old — assaulted a 48-year-old male before exiting the train at the West 110th Street station.
During the attack, the teens “punched the victim in the face and arms and cut him on the forehead with an unknown sharp object,” according to the police.
The victim was transported to BronxCare Health System where he was treated and released.
The NYPD has released the following images of the suspects.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website or by sending a direct message to @NYPDTips on Twitter. All calls are strictly confidential.
Why was the victim transported to Bronx Health Care and not the much closer Mount Sinai (St. Lukes) on Amsterdam?
Exactly what I was thinking.
The usual suspects of course
Ah, good ol racism. You must be proud of yourself.
Have you seen the film with that title?
If you don’t follow, in the end, it’s not the usual suspect who’s the master (and legitimately deeply feared) criminal.
Then that 1995 film’s title is a direct reference to the film “Casablanca”, in which the local police order a mass round of “the usual suspects” not based on any evidence that they (the “usual suspects”) have anything to do with the murder of German courier carrying transit papers that will allow anyone holding them out of Morocco.
So in fact your use of “the usual suspects” means one of two things, either you favor mass roundups not based on evidence, or you don’t think those pictured here are validly suspected of committing the assault.
Then obvious point, remember how many just knew that the “Central Park 5” did it for a dozen + years?
Proud of the truth? They should be.
I want to see what’s inside the book bag. Collected works of Shakespeare? What happens when we arrest these kids? The system says “hey, don’t do that! It’s mean to cut people! Promise you’re sorry and it won’t happen again!” And they say “we’re sorry, we were expressing ourselves! Our bad.”
Then it just gets worse. No one wants to punish in this city. We hate punishment. We don’t mind crime, but we hate punishment.
These kids didn’t learn in school and they’re still not learning that there are consequences to their actions.
When does this stop? I’m not complaining about the crime, I’m complaining about what happens when they actually catch these kids. Does it do anything at all. Are the innocent people in this city any better off after they arrest these kids and immediately put them back on the street to do something similar, or worse, to someone else.
Would love to hear solutions? Maybe Alvin Bragg is on here somewhere?
What’s in their bags are the CD set of Yo-Yo Ma’s Bach Cello Suite.
“What’s in their bags are the CD set of Yo-Yo Ma’s Bach Cello Suite.”
They’ve likely been exposed to a bad recording and a bad execution of Bach’s cello suites?
Of course, that presumes they have a CD player.
Starker’s and Fournier’s versions are vastly better than Ma’s. And the Starker version from the 1960s is a staggeringly high quality recording, even in CD form.
How did that urge to punish you’re expressing work out in the Central Park 5 case?
You do realize that the killer of Tessa Majors is doing time?
Why is I never read calls for the punishment if ibankers who flagrant break banking/securities laws, also while residents of NYC?
Oh you mean DA Bragg who’s letting the biggest criminal of them all off the hook?
