Police from the 115th Precinct are looking for two men who allegedly slashed a 19-year-old woman and her two male companions on Roosevelt Avenue in Corona during the early morning hours of Thursday, Oct. 2.
Police say the victims were in front of a Burger King fast food restaurant located 103-19 Roosevelt Ave. just before 4:215 a.m. when they were approached by two strangers and began arguing with them. Both suspects pulled out unknown sharp objects and slashed the young woman in the back, slashed a 34-year-old man in his back and hands, and slashed the 23-year-old man once across the left side of his face, according to authorities. The perpetrators ran off northbound on 104th Street toward 37th Avenue.
EMS responded to the location and transported the three victims to Elmhurst Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition and were treated for their wounds.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspects and described them as having light complexions and heavy builds. One wore a red hooded Nike sweatshirt, black jeans and black sneakers, while his accomplice wore a black hooded sweatshirt, black jeans, white sneakers and a white baseball cap.
A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to their arrest and indictment.
