LOWER EAST SIDE — A man viciously pummeled a 61-year-old woman near Sara D. Roosevelt Park early Saturday morning.
“The victim was taken to Bellevue Hospital with bleeding in her brain and was intubated Saturday evening, police and prosecutors said. Police were not able to provide an update on the victim’s status Tuesday.”
From SDR Coalition: Our hopes for her recovery and return to her home. And that this provides the impetus to change this derelict building into a thriving community center. The only way you change negative use in an area is to people it with positive use. That’s our 40+ decades of experience removing predators from the park.
