"A 67-year-old MTA employee was repeatedly punched in the face while operating a westbound Q56 bus near Jamaica Avenue and Cypress Hills Street, and NYPD detectives are now asking New Yorkers to help them find the man they say was caught on camera. The April 11 attack happened while the worker was on duty, police said, and the assailant took off after landing several blows."
"In a bulletin posted on Facebook, NYPD Crime Stoppers released still surveillance images of the person of interest and stamped the alert "WANTED FOR AN ASSAULT." The post lists the Jamaica Avenue and Cypress Hills Street intersection, notes the April 11 date, and asks anyone who recognizes the suspect to contact investigators. Detectives are also urging people in the area to preserve any video they might have from that day and share it with police."
"The NYPD's Crime Stoppers program allows tipsters to stay anonymous while sharing information. The department lists the main line as 1-800-577-TIPS and a Spanish hotline at 1-888-57-PISTA, according to the NYPD. Tips can also be sent via X to the department's dedicated account at @NYPDTips. Crime Stoppers notes that callers may be eligible for a cash reward if their information leads to an arrest, and officials are asking anyone who has surveillance or cell-phone footage that could help identify the suspect to include that with their tip."
