Flushing
Burglar hits senior care center
BY EMILY DAVENPORT
A Flushing man was arrested for
breaking into a neighborhood home
and trying to force himself on a woman
and beat her mother when she tried to
call for help, prosecutors announced.
Solomon Hudgins, 27, was arraigned
on charges of first-degree burglary,
first-degree attempted rape, seconddegree
assault, first-degree sexual
abuse, forcible touching and fourthdegree
criminal mischief. Bail was
set at $275,000 bond/$200,000 cash and
Hudgins was ordered to return to court
on Aug. 9.
If convicted, Hudgins faces up to 25
years in prison.
“This was a vicious attack on a 64-
year-old woman, who did her best to
fight off the nearly naked defendant
in the middle of the night,” said acting
District Attorney John M. Ryan. “The
victim’s 94-year-old mother tried to call
the police, only to have the defendant
grab the phone from her and strike her
with it. If the charges are proven, this
defendant deserves nothing less than a
significant term of incarceration.”
According to the charges, at 2
a.m. on Aug. 4, Hudgins allegedly
tore open the window screen of a
bathroom window and entered a
home of a 64-year-old woman and her
94-year-old mother.
Prosecutors said the 64-yearold
woman saw Hudgins, who
allegedly had his pants down and his
genitals exposed. Seconds later, he
allegedly grabbed the woman, groped
her breast and touched her genitals.
Hudgins then allegedly tried to
pull the victim’s pants down as she
struggled to fight him off, police said.
As the victim’s mother tried to
call 911, Hudgins allegedly took
the phone from her and struck her
hand with it, causing both swelling
and bruising. Hudgins then fled
the scene, but was picked up by
officers from the 109th Precinct
shortly afterward.
