Police said Malik Fogg, a NYCHA employee, was charged with assault. No further details were provided about the incident and the location of the incident was not detailed either.

There is a NYCHA complex, named “Edenwald,” located within the border of the 47th Precinct catchment area, as per the attached map, but as above, it is unknown if this is where the incident took place.

A person arrested and charged with a crime is deemed innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law.
