The NYPD is asking for the public’s assistance identifying two people sought in connection to an assault that occurred at Tremont Avenue subway station in Mt. Hope.
It was reported to police at the 46th Precinct that the incident occurred on Saturday, Nov. 5, at around 1.20 a.m., as a 57-year-old male victim was exiting the subway station, which serves the B and D trains. The man was climbing the subway stairway from the mezzanine level to the street level when two people approached him. One hit the man in the face with an unknown blunt object.
“The victim fell as a result of being hit,” a police spokesperson said. “The individuals searched through the victim’s pockets but could not find any property.” They stole a food container from the victim before fleeing to parts unknown. The victim was transported by private means to BronxCare Health System in stable condition. He received medical attention for swelling to the face and a fractured ankle.
Only one of the two individuals sought is seen in the attached photo.
