NEW YORK – Police are searching for the person who shoved a young boy at a Queens subway station before threatening the child and his mother with a knife.
Police said the incident unfolded around 12:40 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 23, on the F train platform at the 21st Street-Queensbridge subway station in Long Island City.
According to investigators, the attacker approached the 7-year-old boy and his 37-year-old mother before pushing him to the ground.
When confronted by the boy’s mother, she shoved him again in the face before brandishing a knife and fleeing.
It is unclear what caused the altercation or why police are releasing information on a suspect a month after the attack.
To report this incident, call the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
