The NYPD has released an additional photo of a second person sought for questioning in connection to an assault that occurred in Fordham Heights last month.
Police had previously released some video footage [attached] of one of two people sought in connection to the assault, and had been asking for the public’s help locating both suspects.
They said that on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at around 7.25 a.m. in the vicinity of Tiebout Avenue and East 182nd Street, a 43-year-old man was approached by the two men on a black, two-wheeled scooter device.
“One of the individuals on the scooter displayed a firearm and discharged it at the male victim, who was struck one time about the back,” an NYPD spokesperson had said. “The same individual proceeded to display an unknown sharp object and slashed the victim about the face. Both individuals fled on the scooter northbound on Tiebout Avenue. EMS responded and transported the victim to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition.”
On Tuesday, Oct. 11, pursuant to the investigation, a surveillance photo of the second individual sought for questioning was released by the NYPD and is attached.
The unidentified individual is described as male, is around 40 years of age, has black hair, a light skin complexion, and was last seen wearing a black, hooded sweater, black sweatpants, black sneakers and was driving the scooter.
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). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.
