The NYPD is asking for the public’s assistance identifying the two people seen in the attached photo who department officials say are sought in connection with an assault that occurred in Bedford Park.

Police said that on Thursday, July 13, at around 4.25 p.m., a 52-year-old woman was on a moving, northbound 4 subway train that was approaching the Bedford Park Boulevard-Lehman College station. They said, “As the doors of the train opened at the station, two unknown individuals approached her. One of the individuals punched the victim about the head before the other individual pushed her off the train onto the platform area.”

Police said that as a result of the incident, the victim fell to the ground and sustained abrasions to her body. “The individuals exited the train at that same station and fled in an unknown direction,” police said. “EMS responded and transported the aided female victim to St. Barnabas Hospital in stable condition.”

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/, on Twitter @NYPDTips.
