Elderly man hurt in Queensboro Hill during unprovoked assault near Kissena Park: NYPD

Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing are looking for a madman who allegedly attacked a senior in Queensboro Hill in an unprovoked assault two blocks north of Kissena Park just after midnight on Wednesday, Nov. 11. The attacker got out of a black Acura in the vicinity of Oak Avenue and Quince Avenue and approached a 69-year-old victim and began to argue with him, police said. The suspect became irate and placed his hands around the elderly man’s neck, causing pain, redness, and swelling, police said. He then kicked the victim in the leg, causing bruising. An NYPD spokesperson could not say what the argument was about. The assailant got back in the black Acura and drove off in an unknown direction, police said. EMS responded to the scene and transported the victim to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. The NYPD released an image of the suspect and asked for the public’s help in identifying him.
