A fight between two homeless
men in Ridgewood led to one man
dying of his injuries four days
later.
Police responded to a call regarding
an assault at the corner of
Seneca Avenue and Myrtle Avenue
at 9 p.m. on Oct. 6.
Upon their arrival, officers found
54-year-old Constantin Palaghia
unconscious and unresponsive
with trauma to his head.
Sources familiar with the investigation
indicated that Palaghia
had been involved in a physical
dispute with 54-year-old Jeremiah
McCarthy, who allegedly punched
Palaghia during the fight, causing
Palaghia to fall and hit his head on
the ground.
EMS rushed Palaghia to an area
hospital, where he died of his injuries
on Oct. 10. McCarthy was
arrested and charged with assault
on Oct. 11.
Police officially deemed the incident
a homicide on Oct. 14.
At this time, it is not clear if Mc-
Carthy’s charges will be updated to
reflect this ruling.
The investigation is ongoing.
