114TH PRECINCT
(ASTORIA, LONG ISLAND CITY, WOODSIDE AND
JACKSON HEIGHTS)
NYPD release sketch of man
found floating off Long Island
City waterfront
The NYPD has released an artist’s sketch of a man that was
found floating in the East River along the shoreline of Hunters
Point South Park last month. Police hope the likeness could
help them identify the victim.
On Wednesday, May 26, police responded to a 911 call of a
body of a man found in the East River near Center Boulevard
and 56th Avenue.
The NYPD Harbor Unit recovered and brought ashore an
unidentified man who was pronounced dead by EMS.
Police described the victim as a white man wearing a longsleeved
brown shirt, camouflage pants and black sneakers.
Investigators said he has a small scar near his right ankle
and no tattoos, but he had two 50-cent coins as well as a sobriety
coin which says “Freedom” and “Growth” on one side and
has a butterfly design on the other side.
Anyone with information in regard to the identity of the
suspects is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline
at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 888-57-PISTA (74782).
The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the
CrimeStoppers website at nypdcrimestoppers.com, or on
Twitter @NYPDTips.
110TH PRECINCT
(CORONA AND ELMHURST)
Police arrest, charge man who
allegedly assaulted 75-year-old
Chinese woman in Corona
Police have arrested and charged the man who allegedly
attacked a 75-year-old Chinese woman in Corona in May.
Christian Batista, a 24-year-old who lives in Corona, was
arrested and charged on the morning of Monday, June 7, according
to authorities.
Batista is charged with assault in the second and third degree,
according to authorities.
According to a police report, a 75-year-old woman was walking
in the vicinity of 97th Place and 57th Avenue at about 2:30
p.m. on Wednesday, May 26. Then, suddenly, Batista allegedly
punched her in the face in an unprovoked attack.
She fell to the ground and suffered a fractured nose and
right orbital bone, and was transported to Elmhurst Hospital
in stable condition, according to authorities.
In a surveillance video released by police, Batista was allegedly
seen walking on foot eastbound on 57th Avenue.
The NYPD investigated the incident as a hate crime, a police
spokesperson told QNS.
The woman’s grandson, Alex Yem, previously told QNS his
grandmother, a longtime resident of Corona, was “OK” and
physically recovering from the attack.
He wants to make sure those actions “don’t go
unpunished.”
Yem said he’s encouraged that the man who allegedly assaulted
another Asian woman in Flushing several months ago
was indicted on hate crime charges, but hopes more is done to
address the root causes of the attacks.
“I don’t think much of the problems can really be fixed in
one day. If anything, it’s more of just teaching the younger
generation that that type of thing is just not OK,” Yem said.
To find resources on how to report hate crimes and incidents,
safety resources or how to help, go to StopAAPIHate.org or the
Asian American Federation’s website at aafederation.org.
The investigation is ongoing.
