Droog, 14, arrested in caught-on-video attack on NYC subway rider, 15, with autism: cops
2023-03-16
[NYPOST] A 14-year-old feral yoot has been arrested in the ruthless caught-on-video assault of a 15-year-old straphanger who was dragged off a Manhattan subway and pummeled on the platform, cops said Wednesday.
But we know what to do with droogs, don't we?
The suspect was charged as a juvenile with aggravated harassment, assault, harassment and menacing in connection to the disturbing Friday rush-hour attack in Washington Heights, footage of which began circulating online Monday, cops said.

Two suspects are still on the loose — including a young woman who can be seen in the video pulling the victim off a northbound A train at the 181st Street-Fort Washington Avenue station and screaming, "Get off!"

The video, posted to Instagram, shows the woman keeping a grip on the boy’s shirt, pulling him down the busy rush-hour platform and repeatedly yelling, "Walk! Walk!"

A male voice can then be heard chanting the N-word followed by "alert."

The teen, who has autism, is shown trying to get back on the train, but the woman drags him off again before someone else socks him in the face — the first of many punches the group throws at him, the clip shows.

The victim’s glasses are yanked from his face, and he throws a few jabs to defend himself as someone yells, "Fight back!"

The teen suffered a cut on his lip, pain in his body and his glasses were broken during the attack, cops said.

He did not know his assailants, according to the NYPD, which said the Hate Crime Task Force was notified because of the anti-black slur that was used.
