A crew of hot head teenagers attacked a retired Lieutenant Nytrado who faced topics for harassing a taxi driver at the Upper East Side this week, police and sources said.
The 65 -year -old retiree saw the group of at least five young people grouping the taxi driver just after 8 pm on Tuesday in Park Avenue and East 84th Street and intervened to stop, according to sources of the law.
But as soon as the former policeman intervened, the Baby face ruffians hit him again with a backpack and hitting him in the face, which made him fall to the ground, authorities and sources said.
“They were looking for problems to harass everyone who saw,” said the victim, who didn’t want to be identified. “When the taxi driver began to crowd, they will attend me and hit them to leave him alone. It was then that a coward hit me from behind with a backpack.”
The beating left it with slight wounds on the face and knee, and rejected medical attention on the scene, police said.
The attackers, all of whom they seem to be teenagers, fled and were not trapped on Friday, since the police published photos of each of them.
One of the suspects was last seen with a black shirt, black shoes and black shorts with a white floral pattern.
Another, seen playing on his phone, has a white shirt and black pants.
A third, captured by bicycle, was last seen with a white shirt and gray pants.
The suspect fourth was last seen with a white shirt and gray shorts, and the fifth was last seen in a black shirt and gray pants.
Any person with information about the suspects should call the Direct Crime Stoppers line of the New York Police at 1-800-577 Tips (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-Pista (74782).
