Maniac strangles 7-year-old boy in Brooklyn park: cops | amNewYork
"According to police sources, the disturbing incident unfolded at around 6:26 p.m. on May 11 inside the Bush-Clinton Park in the Red Hook Recreation Area. Law enforcement sources said a 5-year-old girl was playing with her 7-year-old and 12-year-old brothers when they began videoing the suspect. Cops say they are searching for a maniac who attacked a group of children as they played in a Brooklyn park earlier this month, strangling a 7-year-old child in the process."
"NYPD Cops said the man became enraged and knocked both the 12-year-old and 5-year-old to the ground before wrapping his hands around the neck of the 7-year-old and squeezing. The child suffered pain and bruising but was treated on the scene by EMS. The children reported the attack to their parents that evening to officers at the 76th Precinct."
"Meanwhile, the unhinged brute took off from the park on foot. He was last seen wearing a blue shirt and black shorts, with bright-colored sneakers. No arrests have been made, and the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this assault can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential."
