Do you know the man in the above picture? NYPD Detectives are currently looking for him in regards to an incident in the Bronx on Saturday evening in which he appears to have not only assaulted another man but also the man's six-year-old daughter. And then, for good measure, he allegedly sprayed them both with mace.
According to police the suspect, described as a Hispanic male between the age of 25 and 35, entered a laundromat on East 243rd Street and White Plains Road around 6:10 p.m and "assaulted the victim and his 6 year old daughter and then sprayed them with mace." Details on what set off the skirmish are not immediately clear, but the violence in the below surveillance video is:
Anyone with information in regards to this assault is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
