12 year old girl sexually assaulted by two suspects

 

Police are seeking two men in connection with the sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl in East Harlem.

According to authorities, the attack occurred shortly after 6:30 p.m. on a Sunday near East 113th Street and First Avenue. The victim was assaulted by two unidentified males who then fled the area. Investigators have not publicly released detailed descriptions of the suspects beyond the basic information available at the time of the report.

Cases involving the sexual assault of a child are treated with the highest priority by the NYPD. Detectives typically rely on surveillance cameras, witness statements, and forensic evidence to identify those responsible. The department has asked anyone with information about the incident to come forward.

Crimes of this nature leave lasting effects on victims, families, and the surrounding community. East Harlem residents, like those in other neighborhoods, depend on both police work and public cooperation to bring perpetrators to justice. When an assault occurs in a public area during early evening hours, it also raises broader concerns about safety for children and young people moving through the neighborhood.

As the investigation continues, the focus remains on identifying and locating the two suspects. Anyone who was in the vicinity of East 113th Street and First Avenue around the time of the attack or who has relevant information is urged to contact the police. Tips can be provided confidentially through Crime Stoppers.

Protecting children from violence is a fundamental responsibility of both law enforcement and the community. The hope in this case is that investigators will be able to identify those responsible and prevent further harm.

Suspect wanted for Downtown Brooklyn Triple shooting

 

Authorities have disseminated photographs of an individual they allege is accountable for the shooting of three individuals. The incident occurred at a McDonald's located at the intersection of Fulton Street and Hudson Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn shortly after midnight on Monday. The individual in question reportedly discharged a firearm at two men, hitting them and shattering the windows of the restaurant. Additionally, a woman was grazed by a bullet but declined medical assistance from the first responders.

The additional victims, a 41-year-old male and a 33-year-old male, were transported to New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. The suspect, characterized as a 5'5" man carrying a camel-colored backpack, escaped the scene on foot.

Womans remains found in sleeping bag, suspect charged

 

A 55-year-old male is currently in police custody following the discovery of the body of 31-year-old Yazmeen Williams, which was located inside a sleeping bag in Kips Bay last week. The medical examiner's office has concluded that Williams suffered a gunshot wound to the head, and her death has been classified as a homicide.

Chad Irish is confronted with multiple charges, which encompass the concealment of a corpse, unlawful possession of a weapon, and menacing behavior. Authorities report that Irish allegedly threatened a 47-year-old individual who recognized him at the Strauss Houses located on East 28th Street, the site where the body of Williams was discovered.

 Investigators continue to search for the murder weapon and are currently executing a search warrant at Irish's apartment, where they suspect that Williams was murdered. Williams occasionally resided with Irish, yet the specifics of their relationship remain ambiguous. Irish has been characterized as "ambulatory," indicating that he is capable of walking and, by extension, could potentially commit a murder. However, he opts to utilize a wheelchair for mobility.

Irish has a history of 21 prior arrests dating back to the early 1990s and has experienced multiple incarcerations in state prison. His most recent release was on parole following a robbery that occurred in July 2022 in the Bronx. Although Irish has not yet been charged in connection with the death of Williams, the investigation is ongoing.

The community in which the woman was discovered is in a state of outrage. On Monday evening, a large crowd surrounded Irish as he was removed from his residence on a stretcher and taken into custody. They shouted accusations of murder, hurled insults, and physically assaulted him, questioning why he would take the life of a woman who had been raised in the neighborhood and was known to have had no conflicts with anyone.

"Enough people around here were saying that they knew exactly who did it," said neighbor Ted Oehmke. "I think that they probably already didn't like him before and seeing that he did that to this girl, they are understandably enraged and I don't blame them."

Williams' family characterized her as an individual who aspired to serve as an advocate for women and to engage with the justice system in order to support victims. "She possessed beauty, kindness, and a college education; she truly was a remarkable person," remarked the victim's aunt, Nisha Ramirez.

Suspect wanted for Mcdonalds shooting in bronx

 

Authorities have indicated that the two children who were shot at a McDonald's in the Bronx on Sunday evening might have been deliberately targeted. This update arises as the NYPD persists in its efforts to locate the individual responsible for the shooting that occurred late Saturday night.

Authorities report that the suspect exchanged a few words with the victims prior to the outbreak of gunfire shortly before 10 p.m. at 2516 White Plains Rd. in Allerton. The NYPD has confirmed that a 12-year-old boy sustained gunshot wounds to his left thigh and back, while a 13-year-old boy was shot in his left leg.

The victims were taken to Jacobi Medical Center by first responders, and both are anticipated to recover. Authorities report that the suspect escaped on foot along Mace Avenue in the direction of Bronx Park East. The last sighting of the suspect indicated they were wearing a black medical mask and a black hoodie featuring a pink logo.

The exact number of shots fired and the total number of individuals present inside the McDonald's at the time of the shooting remain uncertain.

"People's family go there with the kids and stuff like that," a neighborhood resident told a reporter. "The neighborhood is getting worse and worse."

Bystander stabbed to death after accident dispute

 

Authorities persisted in their investigation on Wednesday regarding the deadly stabbing of an innocent bystander involved in a road rage incident in the Bronx. Ronald Gomez-Mesa, aged 29, lost his life after being stabbed in the chest close to a daycare facility in Morris Heights on Tuesday.

The event commenced at approximately 4:30 p.m. at the intersection of West Tremont Avenue and Phelan Place, where two motorists were involved in a minor collision. However, what should have been a straightforward resolution escalated into a violent confrontation. Authorities report that one of the drivers, a woman, exited her vehicle wielding a bat before contacting the individual identified as the suspect, who is believed to be her boyfriend.

A man approached the scene, and as onlookers observed, he forcefully knocked the phone from the grasp of an individual who seemed to be documenting the event. Authorities report that a man riding a scooter hurled a bottle at the furious couple before fleeing the scene. Subsequently, the boyfriend of the driver pushed another bystander, who was a friend of the victim, to the ground.

 Gomez-Mesa was initially seated but subsequently engaged in the conflict, delivering several punches. The confrontation progressed to a nearby side street, where the victim suffered a fatal stab wound to the chest. Gomez-Mesa was found outside Rainbow Day Care and was declared dead upon arrival at the hospital. Law enforcement officials dedicated the night to collecting evidence at the location, which included a knife.

Sunbathing women sexually assaulted by suspect in central park

 

According to police sources cited by ABC News, a man currently in NYPD custody for a forcible touching incident is believed to be the individual who assaulted a woman while she was sunbathing in Central Park last month. Jermaine Longmire, aged 42, has yet to be formally charged in connection with the sexual assault that occurred on June 24; however, sources indicate that DNA evidence connects him to the crime.

A sexual assault that occurred in Central Park has led to a manhunt for the perpetrator, whom law enforcement officials report assaulted a sunbather in the Great Hill area of the park, located near 104th Street, during the afternoon hours.

Longmire is currently detained at Rikers Island following charges of inappropriately touching a 27-year-old woman on a southbound A train platform located on the Upper West Side on June 15. In this incident, he is alleged to have approached the victim from behind and placed his hand beneath her dress.

Authorities report that he has been arrested five times previously in New York City, in addition to having prior arrests in Florida, which include charges related to sexual offenses. No charges have yet been brought against him in connection with the Central Park incident, which is anticipated to be presented to a grand jury.

A visitor from Texas was unexpectedly assaulted by an unknown individual during his family's inaugural visit to New York City. The incident occurred on June 20 at approximately 8:30 p.m. as the family awaited the train on the northbound platform at the 59th and Lexington Avenue subway station. At that moment, a stranger approached 41-year-old Veynu Narasiman and struck him in the face.

 The radiology report indicated that the victim sustained multiple fractures in the facial region, including a midline fracture located behind the nose, resulting in a total of 12 broken bones in the face.

"Still a little bit shocked about the randomness and craziness of what happened," Narasiman said.

The victim's wife, Regina Koshy, said it was their kids' first time visiting New York and they were terrified.

"I saw him and I actually yelled at him, I said 'hey, what are you doing?' He turned and he looked at me and so I got a good look at his face and then he continued walking," Koshy said.

 "He was bleeding profusely from both nostrils and he was spitting out blood and the right side of his face was all swollen," Koshy said.

There have been no arrests thus far, and the investigation remains active.

"I think that he needs mental help and I hope he doesn't do this to another person," Koshy said.

 

 

 

Bodega owner beaten with hammer in bronx

 

A bodega worker in the Bronx was seriously injured after being struck in the head with a hammer during a confrontation at the store.

The incident occurred on a Saturday morning on East 188th Street in the Fordham section of the Bronx. The victim, identified as Auralia, a 41-year-old mother of three, was hospitalized with a severe head injury.

According to accounts provided to reporters, a couple who had previously been involved in thefts and vandalism at the store came in seeking a refund for a $30 hookah. The worker explained that the item was too damaged to accept a return. At that point, she was struck with a hammer and knocked unconscious.

The attack has left employees at the store anxious, particularly because no arrests had been made at the time of reporting. Workers expressed concern that the couple could return. Auralia had worked for the same owners for seven years and had only recently moved to this particular location, believing it would be safer.

Bodega operators across the city have repeatedly called for stronger security measures. Some have pointed to available technology such as panic buttons that can alert police and provide real-time access to store cameras. Fernando Mateo of United Bodegas of America criticized the slow delivery of promised security funding, stating that resources are needed immediately rather than at some future date.

Attacks on bodega workers remain a persistent concern in many neighborhoods. These small stores often operate with limited staff and serve as essential community resources. When a dispute over a low-value item escalates into a hammer assault, it highlights both the vulnerability of workers and the need for faster investigative follow-up and practical safety tools.

As of the latest available information, the investigation was ongoing and no arrests had been announced. Residents and workers in the area continue to press for both accountability in this specific case and broader improvements in store security.

As reported by the NYPD, a 42-year-old man secured his pit bull, named Precious, to a fence prior to entering a store in the Morrisania area of the Bronx.

Authorities report that the individual in question was strolling past the store when he took the dog and subsequently fled in a southerly direction along Third Avenue. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported as a result of the incident. The suspect is characterized as a male with a light skin tone, of average build, and sporting a closely trimmed long beard. Law enforcement indicates that he was last observed wearing a black t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers.

Bodega owner stabbed multiple times in Bronx

 

A 44-year-old cherished bodega proprietor is currently in critical condition following a stabbing incident that occurred while he was en route to his vehicle in the Bronx on Thursday night. Maged Alsayidi, the long-time owner of 69 Deli, was attacked at approximately 11:15 p.m. as he walked from his store to his car at the intersection of East 169th Street and College Avenue in the Concourse Village area.

Surveillance footage captures the moments leading up to the brutal stabbing incident. A man dressed in a tank top, who is identified as the bodega owner, is seen carrying a carton of eggs just prior to the attack. The video further reveals another individual trailing behind him, maneuvering between parked vehicles. Mere seconds after they move out of view, the assailant delivers ten stab wounds to the bodega owner's chest.

Members of Alsayidi's family, along with the United Bodegas of America, assert that the individual who inflicted the stab wound was a customer. According to the victim's cousin, the incident began several hours prior at the bodega when the owner intervened to prevent the suspect from committing theft. "He confronted him here, and they engaged in a confrontation, but ultimately he let him go, as it seemed futile," stated Alsayidi's cousin. Surveillance footage reveals the suspect dressed in a black shirt and black pants within the bodega, hours before he returned to stab the owner as the latter was approaching his vehicle.

 Alsayidi was transported to Lincoln Hospital in critical condition; however, his cousin has reported that he is now in stable condition. Several neighbors informed Eyewitness News that they are familiar with the suspect, noting that he consistently wears a complete ski mask. Employees at the bodega indicated that he is a frequent customer with whom they have previously encountered problems. The United Bodegas of America is now urging for increased measures to address the assaults targeting bodega owners.

 

13 year old girl sexually assaulted in Flushing Park

 

The New York City Police Department is providing a reward of $10,000 for any information that results in the arrest and conviction of an individual who sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl in a remote area of Kissena Park in Queens. A police representative described the incident as "a parent's nightmare."

The event occurred at approximately 3:30 p.m. on Thursday in Flushing Park. Authorities report that two classmates, a 13-year-old female and a 13-year-old male, were present in the park close to Colden Street and Kalmia Avenue when a man approached them, brandishing a "large machete-style knife" and compelling them to enter the woods.

The assailant subsequently confiscated the cellphones belonging to both victims, bound the wrists of the boy and girl together using a shoelace, and proceeded to sexually assault the female victim before making his escape. The teenagers were later transported to the hospital in stable condition after they reported the incident upon returning to school.

The investigators retrieved the shoelace that had been employed to bind the children's hands, in addition to a water bottle that the perpetrator had abandoned.

"As a father, a member of this department for many years, this incident is a parent's nightmare," said NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey.

 

The authorities have characterized the individual they are seeking as a male in his twenties, standing at 5 feet 5 inches tall, with curly hair. He was last seen wearing a black shirt, black trousers, red sneakers, and carrying a green backpack. Additionally, he seemed to have dental braces and a prominent tattoo on his chest that resembles either a boar or a pig.

The incident has unsettled both students and parents alike. Residents of this typically tranquil neighborhood are appalled to witness Kissena Park transformed into a crime scene.

Man arrested for robbing a 10 year old

 

Authorities have apprehended an individual sought in connection with the robbery of two minors in Brooklyn. The event took place in the Crown Heights area on June 7. The suspect has been identified as 24-year-old Demba Ba, a resident of Brooklyn. Surveillance footage captured Ba approaching a 10-year-old boy and his 7-year-old sister, where he allegedly demanded money from them.

At that moment, the suspect seized the money from the boy and quickly escaped down Utica Avenue. The boy's father reportedly encountered Ba following the incident and was able to recognize him based on his son's account. He took a photograph and forwarded it to the authorities. As stated by the officers, Ba has a significant history of arrests and is presently on probation for robbery.

He was apprehended again on June 4 for comparable offenses. Ba is facing multiple charges, which include petit larceny, second-degree harassment, and engaging in conduct harmful to a child.

Double shooting leaves 15 year old shot and man injured in queens

 

Two people were shot in a vehicle in Springfield Gardens, Queens, including a 15-year-old boy who was struck in the face, according to police.

The double shooting occurred around 7:30 p.m. on a Tuesday along 143rd Avenue. The teenage victim and a 23-year-old man were sitting in a car when they were fired upon. The 15-year-old was taken to Cohen Children’s Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the face. The 23-year-old was shot in the leg and transported to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center. Both were expected to recover.

Police released surveillance images of two individuals sought in connection with the shooting. One was described as wearing a black-and-white baseball cap, a white T-shirt, light blue jeans, and red-and-black Nike Jordan sneakers. The second was described as wearing red-and-white Nike Jordan sneakers, green-and-white tie-dye shorts, an olive green T-shirt, and a white T-shirt covering his face.

Shootings that involve teenagers draw particular concern because of the age of the victims and the potential for long-term physical and emotional consequences. A gunshot wound to the face carries both immediate medical risks and lasting effects. When the victims are seated in a vehicle, investigators often examine whether the attack was targeted or connected to a broader dispute.

The release of surveillance images is a common step when police believe the public may be able to help identify suspects. Detectives continue to work the case and have asked anyone with information to come forward.

Gun violence that reaches 15-year-olds sitting in cars on residential streets underscores ongoing challenges in certain neighborhoods. While both victims in this incident were expected to survive, the fact that a teenager was shot in the face remains a serious and troubling outcome. The investigation remains active as authorities seek to identify and locate the people shown in the surveillance footage.

Mta Bus driver stabbing Suspects image released UPDATE

 

Authorities have made public the photograph of the individual suspected of stabbing an MTA bus driver while he was performing his duties in Brooklyn. The event took place at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Saturday on a B99 bus in the vicinity of Pitkin Avenue and Alabama Avenue. The New York Police Department reports that the individual engaged in a verbal altercation with the 60-year-old bus driver prior to stabbing him in the neck with an unidentified sharp instrument. Authorities indicate that the suspect was able to leave the bus and escape traveling west on Pitkin Avenue. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has confirmed that no passengers sustained injuries during the incident.

"The attack against a bus operator doing his job was outrageous and unacceptable. We are confident the NYPD will find the person responsible to face justice," a MTA spokesperson said. 

The victim was taken to Brookdale University Hospital Medical Center by first responders, where they were reported to be in stable condition.

MTA Bus driver stabbed in brooklyn

 

An MTA bus driver was stabbed in the neck during a dispute while on duty in Brooklyn, according to police.

The incident occurred around 11:40 a.m. on a Saturday at the intersection of Pitkin Avenue and Alabama Avenue. The 60-year-old driver was operating a Route 3 shuttle when a person confronted him. What began as a verbal argument escalated, and the assailant stabbed the driver in the neck before fleeing the scene.

Emergency responders transported the driver to Kings County Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. No passengers were injured. At the time of the initial reports, no arrest had been made, and investigators were working to identify the suspect and understand the circumstances that led to the stabbing.

Attacks on transit workers, including bus drivers, remain a serious concern for the MTA and the NYPD. Drivers operate in close contact with the public, often with limited physical barriers, and disputes can escalate quickly. When a verbal confrontation turns into a stabbing, it underscores the risks faced by people who keep the city’s transit system running.

The MTA has in recent years increased efforts to improve operator safety through barriers, cameras, and coordination with police. Incidents like this test those measures and often prompt renewed discussion about what additional protections are needed.

Police continue to investigate. Anyone with information about the stabbing on Pitkin Avenue and Alabama Avenue is encouraged to contact the authorities. The driver remains in stable condition, and the priority for investigators is identifying the person responsible.

Man randomly stabbed in East Village

 

A random knife attack in the East Village left a 30-year-old man injured and nearby workers and residents shaken on a Thursday evening.

According to police, the victim was standing in the area of Astor Place when he was suddenly attacked from behind and slashed in the neck with a sharp object. The assault occurred in a busy pedestrian plaza where people regularly stop for coffee, check their phones, or simply pass through.

Employees at a nearby coffee kiosk witnessed the aftermath. Orlando Robles, who was working at the time, described seeing blood on the sidewalk in front of him. “It makes me feel so nervous because I’ve never seen something like that before. It was the first time I’ve ever seen that in my life. Especially here at a peaceful area,” he said.

Other people who frequent the plaza expressed similar unease. One woman, Dumas, had left the area only minutes before the attack and returned to find the plaza cordoned off and blood on the ground. She recalled an earlier mugging she experienced years ago in the city, noting that the level of weapon violence feels different now.

“Unfortunately, nothing is safe anymore in New York,” said another local, David Itah.

Random slashings in public spaces tend to generate particular anxiety because they lack an obvious personal motive and can happen to anyone present at the wrong moment. Astor Place is a heavily trafficked area that mixes students, workers, tourists, and neighborhood residents. An attack there during ordinary evening activity underscores how quickly a routine public space can become a crime scene.

Police cleared the blood and secured the area as part of the investigation. Details about the suspect’s description and whether an arrest followed were limited in initial reports. Investigators typically review nearby surveillance cameras and canvass for witnesses in cases of this type.

For people who work or regularly pass through the plaza, the incident left a lingering sense of vulnerability. Even in neighborhoods long considered relatively safe or lively, sudden acts of violence can alter how people feel about everyday public spaces. The investigation continues as authorities work to identify the person responsible.
