The New York Police Department’s 102nd Precinct is actively searching for a suspect wanted in connection with a violent assault that took place at The Ranch, a sports bar and grill located at 134-01 Liberty Avenue in South Richmond Hill. The incident occurred on the night of Friday, September 25, just before 10:30 p.m. According to police reports, an unidentified man was inside the establishment when he became involved in a heated argument with a female employee near the pool table. The situation escalated when a 36-year-old woman attempted to intervene in the dispute. Instead of de-escalating the conflict, the suspect grabbed a pool cue and struck the intervening woman in the back, causing her significant pain and swelling. Following the attack, the perpetrator fled the scene onto Liberty Avenue in an unknown direction. Emergency Medical Services responded to the location and provided treatment to the victim at the scene. The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspect on Thursday to aid in the identification and capture process. He is described as having a dark complexion, a thin build, black braided hair, and a mustache. At the time of the incident, he was last seen wearing a tan jacket over a dark-colored sweater and black pants. Authorities have offered a reward of up to $3,500 for information that leads directly to the suspect’s arrest and indictment. The public is urged to come forward with any relevant details. Tips can be submitted anonymously by calling the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or the Spanish-language line at 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
