A woman sprays the Bronx MTA bus driver opposite with an unknown substance in the last transit
A woman is wanted by cops for having assaulted a 33 -year -old MTA bus driver last week, police announced on Saturday. It was the fourth attack reported against New York public transport workers in May.
The cops said that the attacker approached the 33 -year -old driver and sprayed her in the face on May 19 around 8:40 a.m. on a BX10 bus in Bainbridge AV. and van Cortlandt ave. East in Norwood.
We did not know what substance the woman sprayed the bus driver.
The EMS transported the victim to the Montefiore Medical Center, where it was listed in a stable state.
The attacker wore dark clothes, a dark -colored baseball cap with a dodgers logo and a backpack.
The assault comes in the heels of a multitude of attacks against New York MTA workers in May.
On May 13, an indignant man struck a 71 -year -old MTA bus driver at the head with a key after an argument broke out in Brooklyn. The victim led his B61 bus near the corner of Lorraine and Hicks STS. In Red Hook – and arguing with an unruly passenger – around 8 am when the unidentified suspect went on the bus.
The cops believe that the attacker was called on the bus by a fleeting woman already on board who was arguing with the bus driver, a police source knowing the case. The unidentified suspect and bus driver immediately presented himself in an argument, during which the suspect released a key and hit the MTA employee on the front.
The EMS rushed to the bus driver at the New York-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, where he was treated for a minor injury, said cops. The attacker, who took off with the woman after the attack, was still wanted.
On May 23, an MTA metro driver was struck in the face by a man while he was taking off his cabin window just after his train n ° 5 in the Grand Central-42nd St. Station around 7:45 p.m.
The aggressor, who said nothing during the attack and had no interaction with the driver in advance, lacked the station and is still in freedom.
EMS precipitated the metro driver at the New York-Presbyterian / Weill Cornell Medical Center, where he was treated and released.
On May 29, in Brooklyn, a man swinging a pipe tried to attack a 68 -year -old MTA cleaner at the Bergen St. station in Boerum Hill around 12:15 p.m. after the transit employee faced him, COPS said.
The man broke a call box with the pipe, said the cops. When the cleaner confronted him, the suspect said, “Why do you follow me?” Then swung the pipe twice, missing twice, said cops.
The cleaner caught the suspect, triggering a fight, the two men falling on the platform before the suspect gets up and fled. He is always sought after by cops.
EMS precipitated the Cleanner MTA at Nyu Langone Health-Cobble Hill, where he was treated for pain throughout his body and released.
Anyone with information on one of the four assaults is requested to call NYPD Crime Stoppers in (800) 577-Tips. All calls will remain confidential.
