Addabbo Condemns Attack on MTA Bus And Commends Police On Investigation

Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. said: "I am deeply disturbed by the brutal attack on a 37-year-old man aboard an MTA Q53 bus in Woodhaven. This senseless act of violence, during which the victim was hit in the head multiple times with a glass bottle, is reprehensible and has no place in our community. My thoughts are with the victim as he recovers from this traumatic incident.

I want to commend the swift response of the 102nd Precinct. There is video footage of the suspects that the police have made public in an attempt to identify the couple who allegedly perpetrated the incident. I urge anyone with information about the suspects to come forward and assist law enforcement in their investigation.

Our law enforcement officers work tirelessly to keep our streets safe, and their dedication to serving and protecting our communities is truly commendable. I believe government must be vigilant in ensuring the safety and security of passengers using public transportation.

Violence of any kind is unacceptable, and we must stand together as a community to condemn such behavior. Let us all work together to create a safer and more peaceful environment for everyone in our city.”
