106TH PRECINCT
(SOUTH OZONE PARK, LINDENWOOD, HOWARD
BEACH AND OLD HOWARD BEACH)
NYPD searching for suspect
in two anti-Muslim assaults
The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is searching for a man
in connection with anti-Muslim assaults in Richmond Hill and
Jamaica on Sunday, June 20.
The fi rst assault occurred around 1:15 p.m. as the unidentifi ed
man followed a 31-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman in the
vicinity of Liberty Avenue and Leff erts Boulevard while shouting
anti-Muslim slurs.
The suspect proceeded to punch the man in the back, then
grabbed the woman’s hijab and punched her on the arm, police
said. Both the victims sustained pain and redness but refused
medical attention.
About an hour later, the man followed a 64-year-old man and
a 56-year-old woman in the vicinity of 105 Inwood Ave. near
Liberty Avenue.
In this assault, the suspect punched the woman several times
in the face and head before fl eeing, police said.
The woman sustained pain, redness, small lacerations to the
head and face as well as a fractured nose. EMS responded and
transported the woman to Jamaica Hospital where she was listed
in stable condition, according to the NYPD.
In a statement regarding the attacks, Ahmed Mohamed, legal
director at CAIR-NY, a national Muslim advocacy and civil
liberties group, said they are praying for the “victims’ speedy
recovery and for the apprehension and prosecution of the
assailant.”
“We are disturbed that people going about their daily lives
are being randomly attacked because of anti-Muslim hate. It is
absolutely disgusting. Bias incidents targeting Muslims and
members of other minority communities are sadly on the rise.
Every person deserves to feel safe to walk around Queens —
which is supposed to be the ‘World’s Borough,’” Mohamed said.
“We hope offi cials will condemn these Islamophobic attacks and
show solidarity with the Muslim community.”
Mohamed called on elected offi cials to support communitybased
organizations that support and provide services for
victims of hate.
The suspect in the attacks was seen on surveillance video, according
to police. He was described by investigators as a man
with a beard, wearing a dark blue jacket, black pants, a dark blue
durag and red sneakers.
