Hit and Run on Kingston and Empire

Motzoai Shabbos, the streets bustling with people heading to and from Kapores around the neighborhood. One elderly couple driving up Kingston, crossing Empire Blvd, struck a red Mitsubishi who by all witness accounts ran the light and was previously observed driving recklessly with loud music playing.

The impact sent the red car into a traffic light pole, immediately after which all three occupants, who according to eye witnesses were all teenage Black males, got out of the car leaving the engine running and ran from the scene. A few Israeli Bochurim who witnessed the accident began perusing the trio managing to catch one of them and a passing Shomrim member held the suspect until police arrived.

Police ran the cars plates and found the car not to have been reported stolen, and when questioning the teen he provided identification which stated that he was 16, and he claimed to have picked up a ride thinking it was a taxi on Utica Ave. He was released into the custody of his grandmother who came to the scene. Fleeing a scene of an accident regardless of being a driver or a passenger is a crime.

Later another police car came driving up to the scene, with a passenger who claimed that it was his car. He stated that he received a call from the driver saying that ‘police took away the car’ so he walked into the 71st precinct where he got a ride to the scene.
