Police officials said Wednesday that they do not believe a recent spate of sucker-punchings targeting women are the result of a terrible TikTok trend.
A growing number of women have taken to social media recently saying that they were victims of unprovoked punchings during daytime hours on the streets of Manhattan; at least 12 such incidents have been confirmed in the Manhattan South area, police sources reported.
No, I don't believe it's being driven by social media. Obviously, the social media aspect is that people are becoming aware of it and people are reporting in the past two weeks, Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said.
Chief Kenny reported that police have made six arrests, and two more assailants are still at large.
