The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying the three individuals seen in the attached video and photos who are sought regarding an assault on a woman that occurred in Pelham Parkway, located in the 49th precinct.
It was reported to police that on Wednesday, May 18, at approximately 9.14 p.m., at the northwest corner of Lydig Avenue and White Plains Road, police responded to a 911 call regarding a woman who had been assaulted.
Upon arrival, responding officers discovered a 37-year-old female victim with a broken jaw. The victim said she had engaged in a verbal dispute with an unknown individual, which escalated into a physical encounter.
Police said two of the group forcibly pushed the victim to the ground, and three of them then kicked and punched her in the face and body, before fleeing to parts unknown.
EMS responded to the scene and transported the victim to Jacobi Medical Center where she has since been treated and released.
Suspect 1 is described as male, has a medium complexion, a medium build, brown eyes and short, dark hair. He was last seen wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt with a graphic on the front which read, “Legends never die,” a blue baseball cap, gray sweatpants, a red backpack and white sneakers.
Suspect 2 is described as male, has a medium complexion, a slim build, brown eyes and short, close cut, dark hair. He was last seen wearing a blue, white and red, hooded sweatshirt, a light colored baseball cap, blue jeans, a black backpack, and boots.
Suspect 3 is described as male, has a medium complexion, a medium build, brown eyes and short, dark hair. He was last seen wearing a dark colored, hooded sweatshirt, a red t-shirt, dark colored pants, and white sneakers.
The attached video and photos of the three people are taken from the incident location. Some bystanders are seen seemingly not reacting to the assault as the woman is on the ground being stomped on and kicked in the face a number of times. One is seen attempting to pull an assailant away from her.
In a Facebook post dated May 27, in the Friends of Pelham Parkway group, a longer version of the video [which doesn’t include the part shared by police where the three assailants attack the victim at once, kicking her in the face and stomping on her while she’s on the ground], can be seen. There appears to be some sort of dispute underway that appears to escalate between the parties, though it’s unclear from the longer version of the video what started the incident.
Anyone with information regarding 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).
