An unhinged attacker in the Bronx pummeled one man and minutes later slashed a woman in the forehead, police said.
The random attacks began at approximately 8:10 p.m. Friday in front of 2265 University Ave., near West 183rd Street, where the assailant approached a 49-year-old man, knocked him to the ground and struck him with an unknown object, authorities said. The sicko then mounted the victim and tried to press his thumbs into the victim’s eyes before running off, police said.
Moments later, in front of 2324 University Ave., the same individual slashed a 52-year-old woman in the forehead and ran northbound on University Avenue toward Fordham Road, cops said.
Both victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries to their faces and were transported by EMS to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition, authorities said.
The NYPD on Saturday released photos of the wanted suspect: a man with a light complexion, thin build, with black hair and a black mustache. He was last seen wearing a black long-sleeve shirt, black pants and black and gray socks.
In Lower Manhattan, a 65-year-old man was slashed in the face with an unknown object in Sara D. Roosevelt Park at Forsyth Street and Hester Street at around 8:45 p.m. Friday, police said. The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, cops said. There are no arrests.
Anyone with information in regard to these incidents is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
