Authorities are searching for a 45-year-old man who they say was seen on video grabbing a 26-year-old woman from behind as she walked down a street in the Bronx. He forcefully brought her to the ground and tried to harm her.
This incident happened around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, May 25, near Vireo Avenue and East 235th Street. The man used a chokehold to subdue the woman and wrestled with her on the ground. Fortunately, she was able to resist by calling out for help.
The man, known as Miguel Rivera, was last spotted riding away on a blue scooter.
The woman sustained injuries including cuts and bruises but declined medical assistance at the scene.
