Police officials said Wednesday that they do not believe a recent spate of sucker-punchings targeting women are the result of a terrible TikTok trend.
Police say they do not believe the spate of random punch attacks targeting women are being driven by a TikTok trend. Cops are searching for a suspect they believe left McDonald’s on 6th Avenue between 14 and 15th streets and without warning punched a 23-year-old woman in the face on March 20th.
“No, I don’t believe it’s being driven by social media. Obviously, the social media aspect is that people are becoming aware of it and people are reporting in the past two weeks,” Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. “The majority of these incidents have been occurring in Manhattan South, we’re not seeing it anywhere else.”The most recent attack in Manhattan South occurred on March 20 at around 10 a.m. in front of a McDonald’s on 6th Avenue between 14th and 15th streets.
“She receives a broken nose,” Chief Kenny said. “My detectives get out there, we do a video canvas. We’re able to get a good still based on the video from the location and we are able to get a facial recognition hit on that suspect.”
