From what I read in the ny daily news, he committed 4 different attacks. I hope he’s responsible for 1 that happened a few feet away from me and my young son. A man grabbed another man’s wallet at 3pm in the afternoon on Broadway between 92nd and 93rd.
This past Thursday
I’m happy to see some establishments finally investing in HD surveillance cameras. This is a nice clear video which helps tremendously to identify these perpetrators
The perpetrator lives in Wise Towers, so we have been paying to house him. https://newyork.cbslocal.com/2016/02/19/uws-robbery-stabbing-suspect/
I guess the taxpayers will continue to house him but this time in jail–and hopefully for a very long time.
Aww boo hoo, the poor taxpayers. Sounds just about as whiny as police unions crying about how Beyonce hurt their feelings.
Nice attitude. I certainly hope that you are not in a position of political power (or any sort of power for that matter).
Believe it or not, a lot of us taxpayers are fed up with feeding and housing miscreants such as the perp involved in these incidents. If he had to support himself, perhaps he would be out busting arse working to survive and to tired to victimize others.
If something is not done soon to stop the crime the UWS will become another version of Detroit or South Africa. I rather me and my children stay alive than erroneously be accused of racism by some delusional psycho.
the knife to the neck is so scary. how much jail time will he get? i’m clueless to sentencing for crimes.
I am not so sure he should be prosecuted; so he rolled a kid and tried to mug a senior citizen then stabbed someone who really had no right to be out on the street at 5 in the afternoon. As Mayor DeBlasio teaches us, giving this youth a rap sheet may adversely affect his ability to get a good high paying job.
Yeah Elliott S, the nerve of those rotten taxpayers! Imagine those crybabies, expecting to live in a neighborhood where getting stabbed and mugged wouldn’t be defended by lousy neighbors!
Charged with robbery, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, and unlawful possession of marijuana.
Any reason there’s no attempted murder charge??? Last time I checked stabbing someone is a but more then just “menacing.” If he is indicted does he get to just return to Wise house when he’s out?? If his family members live there they should be forced out as well. There are plenty of law abiding low-income citizens/families that would love his apartment space.
He’ll get a first degree robbery charge
