The accused attacker, Tommie Williams, 27, of Jamaica, was arraigned on Jan. 23 on assault and harassment charges, according to the district attorney’s office. The victim, a 42-year-old off-duty cop, was at the Pathmark on Springfield Boulevard near 132nd Avenue on the afternoon of Jan. 19 when he accidentally bumped into Williams’ girlfriend, according to Brown. Williams confronted the officer, telling him that he would be outside waiting for him. As the officer was walking to his car, Williams came up to him and punched him in the face, causing the officer to fall to ground, authorities said. Williams then got into a vehicle. When the cop tried to approach the car and take a photo of it with his cellphone, Williams allegedly punched him and he fell to the ground again. Williams then fled in the vehicle. The officer had to undergo surgery for facial fractures, which required a metal plate and metal wires to be placed in his face. If convicted, Williams could spend up to seven years in prison.

Screenshot via NYPD Developmentally disabled Queens woman missing for more than a month A Richmond Hill woman who is developmentally disabled and needs daily medication has been missing since early December, according to one of the centers where she receives services. Bibi Kadim, 37, was last seen on Dec. 5. That day, Kadim had gone for lunch in the Jamaica neighborhood where Queens Centers for Progress (QCP), a place she goes for services, is located. After she did not return from lunch, the staff called her mother. She told them that her daughter was scheduled for a medical clinic appointment that afternoon, but that Kadim had canceled, according to QCP. Her parents, who live with Kadim in their home, have not heard from their daughter since she went missing. The Shield Institute in Bayside, where Kadim also receives services, has known her for nearly 18 years. The center describes her as a very friendly individual who can communicate her wants and needs verbally. But, according to her parents, she has a child-like mentality. She is also diabetic and needs daily medication and therefore is “at great risk,” according to QCP. “We are obviously very concerned that Bibi has been missing for this length of time,” said Charles Houston, CEO of QCP said in a statement. “QCP and The Shield Institute are working with the family and police to bring Bibi home.” Kadim is 5 feet 5 inches tall and 194 pounds. She was last seen wearing a pink hoodie, navy blue jacket, blue jeans and sneakers. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (8477). Photo courtesy of NYPD
