The New York Police Department is actively seeking a truck driver wanted in connection with a violent assault that occurred more than two months ago on the Long Island Expressway in Bayside, New York. The incident took place on Monday, August 17, at approximately 11:20 a.m., within the jurisdiction of the 111th Precinct near Alley Pond Park. According to authorities, a 76-year-old man was involved in a motor vehicle collision with the suspect’s truck while traveling westbound on the expressway, approaching the Cross Island Parkway exit. Following the collision, the suspect allegedly exited his vehicle, grabbed the elderly victim, and forcibly threw him to the ground, resulting in minor injuries. The suspect then returned to his blue tractor-trailer and fled the scene in an unknown direction. The victim was transported by EMS to New York-Presbyterian Queens Hospital, where he was treated and listed in stable condition. The NYPD released an image of the suspect on Saturday, describing him as a male with a dark complexion, shoulder-length black hair, and a thick goatee. He was last seen wearing a white polo shirt, white shorts, and white and black sneakers. Police are urging the public to assist in identifying and locating the suspect. A reward of up to $3,500 is being offered for information that leads to his arrest and indictment. Individuals with information are asked to contact the NYPD Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or the Spanish line at 888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted via the Crime Stoppers website or on X at @NYPDTips. All communications are strictly confidential. This case remains an active investigation as authorities continue to search for the at-large suspect.
