UPPER EAST SIDE, Manhattan (PIX11) — A man accused of attempting to rape a 19-year-old woman in Manhattan on August 10 was indicted on multiple charges, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Wednesday.
“As alleged, Quincy Burks tackled and sexually assaulted a young woman in a horrific late-night attack,” said District Attorney Bragg. “I am thankful for the doorman who intervened, our fellow New Yorkers who called 911, and the swift work of the NYPD.”
“This defendant’s alleged activity went beyond legal and peaceful protest. Committing arson in a crowded protest endangers the safety of others, and this type of behavior will not be tolerated,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in the news release. “We will continue to work closely with the NYPD and local colleges and universities to ensure the safety of students, staff and community members during any protest or demonstration.”
“Today, Tyrese Haspil is facing accountability for brutally murdering and decapitating Fahim Saleh, a kind, generous, and empathetic person who positively impacted the world,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who attended the sentencing.
“Today, Tyrese Haspil is facing accountability for brutally murdering and decapitating Fahim Saleh, a kind, generous, and empathetic person who positively impacted the world. Even after the defendant stole from him to fund a lavish lifestyle, Mr. Saleh still gave him a second chance,” said District Attorney Bragg. “While today’s sentence won’t bring Mr. Saleh back, I hope it provides his family a sense of closure as they continue to mourn his painful loss.”
