Police are searching for a sicko who allegedly shoved a group of kids to the ground and choked a boy inside a Brooklyn park.
The unidentified man approached a 5-year-old girl, a 7-year-old boy and a 12-year-old boy inside Bush-Clinton Park in the Red Hook Recreation Area just before 6:30 p.m. last Monday, according to the NYPD.
He then knocked the 12-year-old boy and the 5-year-old girl to the ground — before alarmingly grabbing the 7-year-old boy’s neck and attempting to strangle him, cops said.
The bully — pictured in photos in a blue T-shirt, black shorts, and grey and orange athletic sneakers — then fled the scene on foot, police added.
EMS workers treated the trio of kids, including the 7-year-old boy who sustained bruising and pain from the choking. It’s unclear if the children’s parents were with them at the time of the assault.
The shocking incident happened on the same day a woman allegedly shoved a 7-year-old special needs boy to the ground while he was walking beside his mother at the intersection of Kissena Boulevard and Maple Avenue in Queens.
Anyone with information regarding the Brooklyn incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
