Police are searching for a woman who allegedly shoved a 7-year-old special needs boy to the ground while he was walking beside his mother in Queens on Monday, according to authorities and sources.
The child and his mom were approached by an unidentified individual at the intersection of Kissena Boulevard and Maple Avenue in Flushing around 5:15 p.m., according to the NYPD.
The woman then heartlessly pushed the boy, who has special needs, to the ground — causing him to sustain a laceration to his face, cops and sources said.
She fled the scene to an unknown area, while the mother and son refused medical attention for the boy’s cut, police added.
The alleged shover was pictured in photos released by the department with long dark hair, glasses, jeans, and a black-and-white shirt with the number “84” on it.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
