Assault
Law enforcement
sources said the attack
occurred at 10:41 p.m. on
June 23 on the platform
of the Woodhaven
Boulevard station,
located above the corner
of Jamaica Avenue and
Woodhaven Boulevard.
According to
authorities, the two
assailants got into a
dispute with the 29-yearold
man, then went on
the attack.
The video, taken by
someone on the opposite
platform, shows one of
the suspects holding the
victim back while the
other swings his fist at
him. After knocking the
man to the ground, the pair
then repeatedly kicked and
stomped on him.
Moments later, the pair
fled out of the station on
foot and in an unknown
direction, police said.
Officers from the
102nd Precinct and NYPD
Transit Bureau responded
to the incident. Paramedics
rushed the victim to
Jamaica Hospital, where
he was treated for a
fractured nose.
Cops said one of the
suspects was a Hispanic
male between 15 and 20
years of age who was last
seen wearing a red hooded
sweater, beige pants and
dark colored sneakers. His
accomplice was described
as a black male, also
between 15 and 20 years of
age, who wore a black jacket
and light-colored pants.
Anyone with
information regarding the
suspects’ whereabouts can
call Crime Stoppers at 800-
577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial
888-57-PISTA). All calls are
kept confidential.

“Residents of Long
Island and Queens have
long suffered through
unacceptable levels of
helicopter and airplane
noise, and this problem
gets markedly worse
during the summer. Even
though last year’s FAA
Reauthorization bill
included my provisions
to address this noise
pollution, the FAA has
yet to follow through
and take any substantive
actions to actually
reduce aircraft noise,”
said Senator Gillibrand.
“Before the Senate
votes on the next FAA
Administrator, I am
calling on the nominee
to show leadership on
this issue and fully
commit to addressing the
concerns of New Yorkers.
Excessive airplane and
helicopter noise harm
the quality of life in our
communities, and it’s past
time the FAA gives our
communities the relief
they deserve.”
