On Monday, September 25 at about 12:45 p.m., a 62-year-old female and 72-year-old male were on a southbound 6 train approaching the East 77 Street station when the suspect started a verbal dispute with them. As the suspect was exiting the train, she punched the male victim in the face and pepper sprayed both him and the 62-year-old woman.

Police describe the suspect as a “female with dark complexion and long black hair. She was last seen wearing blue jeans and had a black and white purse and a rainbow umbrella.”

Find this garbage and lock it away with the guy with the stroller. Enough of this nonsense.
Please stop with the “dark complexion “.
She’s black.
Amen. This need to be so ridiculously CAREFUL has turned us into a nation of terrified infants. Can’t wait for the pendulum to right itself and settle somewhere more sustainable, live-able, and less laughable.
Please follow up. What will happen once she is apprehended?
