Arrest Made in Attempted Assault on Girl in Boro Park
The NYPD has arrested a suspect in the attempted assault of a girl in Boro Park last week.
At 10:30 p.m. on January 11, a 17-year-old girl was walking on 60th Street between 18th and 19th Avenues, when a man walked up behind her, knocked to the ground, and attempted to assault her. The girl put up a fight and started screaming, which caught the attention of someone in the area who stopped to help. The perpetrator fled the scene.
A Shmira of Boro Park member tells Hamodia the organization searched, along with detectives from the NYPD’s Special Victims Unit, for surveillance footage in a 2.5 mile radius from the scene of the assault.
On Tuesday morning, Shmira offered a $10,000 reward for the perpetrator’s arrest, sponsored by a community member.
At 7:30 p.m. Tuesday evening, SVU officers arrested Tomas Chumil in Prospect Heights.
Chumil, 28, of Midwood, was arraigned on a felony abuse charge, as well as four misdemeanors. Bail was set at $10,000 bond or $7,500 cash.
