Young man pushes over 92-year-old woman in NYC attack

[DISRN] The incident occurred on Third Avenue near East 16th Street in the Gramercy Park neighborhood at about 3:30 p.m. on Friday, the New York Post reports.

The attacker walked away nonchalantly after knocking the elderly woman down, at one point staring back at her as he continued walking.

The young attacker is black and the elderly victim is white. She is reported to be injured but expected to recover. It is not clear at this time what the motive was for the attack.

Update at 5:35p. EDT:
Police bust man who shoved elderly woman to ground in NYC

[NYPost] Police have collared the heartless cur who knocked an elderly woman to the ground in a random attack.

Video footage was released of the attack Monday night, and by Tuesday morning, police had 31-year-old Rashid Brimmage in custody on a charge of assault, cops said.

Police sources said cops recognized the attacker, who has had dozens of run-ins with law enforcement.
I wonder if he is out because he was released for fear of COVID, or if he just kept getting set free instead of held on bail.

#3 Because he can. He is considered 'above the law' due to the color of his skin.

#7 MM - nice catch:
A 31-year-old man has been arrested in connection with an apparently random attack on a 92-year-old woman in Manhattan four days ago, authorities say.

The suspect, Rashid Brimmage of the Bronx, was charged with assault shortly after he was taken into custody Tuesday. Police believe he is the person seen on disturbing video shoving the 92-year-old woman named Geraldine to the ground on Third Avenue between 15th and 16th streets on Friday afternoon.

The woman hit her head on a fire hydrant as she was pushed. Jarring surveillance footage captured the attack. It shows the woman walking along the street. A man is seen approaching her from the opposite direction.
A senior law enforcement official tells News 4 Brimmage is a recidivist with 100 prior arrests who has gotten a desk appearance ticket for his most recent ones because of bail reform. He is an NYPD co-response client, which means police have responded with social workers when dealing with him. Brimmage has an extensive history of being emotionally disturbed in police encounters as well.

He’s been arrested three times since February for alleged assaults. On March 9, he allegedly punched a 29-year-old man in an unprovoked attack at a pizza shop in Manhattan. A few weeks before that, Brimmage allegedly punched a 39-year-old female at a Dunkin’ Donuts in the Bronx. On Feb. 4 he allegedly punched a 39-year-old man in the face at that same Dunkin' Donuts. In the latter two cases, he received desk appearance tickets.

Brimmage is currently a suspect in a grand larceny that happened on Feb.19 at the 116th St. train station in which a woman had $120 stolen from her purse, the senior law enforcement official said. He's also a transit sex crime recidivist.

Police fear Brimmage will receive yet another desk appearance ticket for the latest incident, freeing him to attack at random again, the senior official said.

#9 “Rashid”

Could be Nation of Islam/Black Muslim, could be mainstream Muslim, could just have fashionable Black Power parents.
