    Three Teen Girls Behind Bars for Allegedly Assaulting and Tasing 15-Year-Old in NYC Subway Station

    Three 16-year-old girls assaulted a 15-year-old girl, stomping, beating, and even tasing her inside a subway station in Queens last week, according to prosecutors and sources cited by the NY Post.

    The sophomore from William Cullen Bryant High School was on her way to the nearby 46th Street M and R train station around 3 p.m. on June 2 when the vicious group reportedly followed her. Queens DA Melinda Katz described the incident as

    “an outrageous display of bullying and brutality.”

    According to the DA’s office, the group of teens cornered the girl on the staircase, repeatedly punching, kicking, and stomping on her head, face, and body, tasing her in the process and attempting to steal her backpack. The victim was hospitalized following the attack but is now on the path to recovery, officials reported.

    Two of the suspects, both juniors at the same school and residents of Elmhurst, were arrested and arraigned on Tuesday. They face charges of attempted gang assault and attempted robbery related to the incident, prosecutors stated. They have been placed in an intensive community monitoring program under probation supervision, according to the DA’s office.

    Judge Bruna DiBiase has scheduled their next court appearance for June 18. The third 16-year-old suspect was arrested on Thursday. If convicted, they could face up to 15 years in prison.

    “This will not be acceptable behavior here in Queens and I will hold students accountable for this behavior to the extent the law allows. We are grateful that the victim is recovering. The investigation is continuing into the conduct of other individuals,”

    Katz said in a statement.

    A source told Fox 5 that the mother filed a custodial interference report on May 30. The parents reportedly share joint custody of Montrell.

    Man With 20 Previous Arrests Busted Following Random Attack On 70-Year-Old In NYC Subway Station

    A man with 20 previous arrests, including hate crimes against two women, was apprehended for pushing a 70-year-old grandmother in a Midtown subway station. 37-year-old Sherlock Arana of the Bronx, allegedly attacked Janet Parvizyar, 70, on Monday morning while she was visiting friends in New York City, per the New York Post

    The woman informed The Post, “I don’t understand, why did they let them go like this? …I mean, they have to do something about this. He’s going to kill somebody.”

    Arana has a history of crime on the subway. Nearly ten years ago, he admitted to assaulting two women in Queens, believing they were Indian, though one was Bangladeshi. He allegedly yelled “I hate Indian people” during one of the attacks. He was sentenced to nine months for a hate crime assault but it’s unclear how long he actually served.

    Arana’s latest arrest occurred in 2023 for robbery, according to law enforcement. In this week’s incident, Parvizyar was walking in the underground path to the No. 6 train station when Arana reportedly pushed her against a wall, causing her to slam her head and fall. She was later transported to NYU Langone Medical Center and suffered from neck and head injuries. 

    Officials later recognized Arana at the Lexington Avenue-125th Street subway station around 6:45 a.m. Wednesday from a Wanted flyer amid an inspection. They discovered a knife on him. He was charged with second-degree assault and harassment, according to law enforcement sources.
