The NYPD is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect involved in the attempted assault of two on-duty police officers in Norwood. The incident occurred on Thursday, March 14, 2024, when a male e-bike rider approached the rear of a marked police vehicle and threw a brick, causing damage. The suspect then fled the scene on his blue, two-wheeled vehicle.
The NYPD has released video footage of the incident and is asking for any information that could lead to the identification of the suspect. Described as a male with a dark complexion, aged between 18 to 25 years old, and wearing all black clothing, the suspect remains at large.
This incident is part of a larger issue involving a group of e-bike and ATV riders in the area. Earlier on the same evening, a collision between an ATV and a sedan occurred at Van Cortlandt Avenue and the Grand Concourse in Bedford Park. Prior to that, police had observed a group of e-bike and ATV riders traveling together near Jerome Avenue and East Mosholu Parkway South. It is unclear if the suspect in the assault is connected to this group.
Residents in Norwood and Bedford Park have reported seeing these riders traveling at high speeds, breaking red lights, and engaging in reckless behavior. One witness described them as “terrifying” and expressed concern about their disregard for traffic rules.
Additionally, there have been reports of another possible collision involving a motorcycle and an ambulance in the Morris Park section of The Bronx. Details about this incident are still unconfirmed.
The NYPD and FDNY/EMS are conducting investigations into these incidents and urging the public to come forward with any information that may help in identifying the suspects or understanding the events leading up to these incidents.
It is important for the community to work together with law enforcement to ensure the safety of the neighborhood and hold those responsible for their actions.
