7-year-old Child Assaulted At 21 Street-Queensbridge Subway Station In Queens New York
The 21 Street-Queensbridge Subway Station is photographed in Dutch Kills, Queens, New York, United States, on March 20, 2025. In February, at approximately 12:40 p.m., inside the 21 Street-Queensbridge subway station, aboard a northbound ''F'' train platform, a 7-year-old boy and a 37-year-old woman, who is the child's mother, are approached by an unidentified female suspect. The female suspect pushes the 7-year-old male victim to the ground. When confronted by the child's mother, the female suspect pushes the 7-year-old boy again in the face. The female suspect brandishes a knife to both victims before fleeing the station on foot. The suspect boards a Q100 MTA bus to parts unknown. EMS responds and treats the 7-year-old boy at the scene for minor pain to his leg. The 37-year-old woman does not sustain any injuries. (Photo by Kyle Mazza/NurPhoto)
