In mid-August, a vicious attack occurred on a 72-year-old West Village community resident outside 99 Jane Street, resulting in his hospitalization. Police believe the perpetrator was playing the so-called “knockout game,” part of a disturbing phenomenon in recent months. I worked with the local precinct in helping to raise awareness about the assault by distributing flyers to neighbors. Please see the wanted poster below. According to the NYPD, the suspect is still at large. Anyone with information regarding the suspect or the attack should call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-8477.
