The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying the person seen in the attached photos who they say is wanted in connection with an assault that occurred inside Kingsbridge Road subway station in Kingsbridge Heights.
Police said that on Thursday, Jan. 29, at around 5.45 p.m. inside Kingsbridge Road subway station, a 40-year-old male victim was approached by an unknown male who struck the victim in the face with a baseball bat multiple times.
