The NYPD is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect they’ve been trying to locate for nearly a month for allegedly attacking a man with a glass bottle in Dutch Kills.
Police from the 114th Precinct in Astoria reported that the 31-year-old victim was standing inside 29-01 39th Ave. just after 5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 14, when a stranger approached him and struck him multiple times in the face with a glass bottle in an unprovoked attack, police said. The assailant was last seen running out of the building eastbound on 39th Avenue towards Northern Boulevard.
EMS responded to the crime scene and rushed the victim to Elmhurst Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition.
The NYPD released a surveillance image of the suspect on Oct. 10.

A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to his arrest. Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
