“Christian Torres allegedly assaulted and attempted to rob a 91-year-old New Yorker who was walking home with his groceries last month. My thoughts are with the victim, who is still suffering from the pain caused by this attack,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We take attacks on older members of our community very seriously, and no one should have to fear for their safety when walking in Manhattan.” 

“John Wright stabbed and killed Carlos Rosario during a dispute that started about something as small as a cigarette. John Wright is being held accountable for his actions, but this prison sentence will not bring Mr. Rosario back to his friends and family,” said District Attorney Bragg. “My thoughts are with his loved ones as they grieve his loss.”

“As alleged, Michael Colome brutally attacked a teenage boy on a busy Times Square street,” said District Attorney Bragg. “We allege that he hit the boy so hard with a broomstick that it eventually broke in half from the repeated strikes. My thoughts are with the victim as he continues to recover from his injuries, and I wish him a speedy recovery.”  

“Today, Rasheed Osundairo was held accountable for brutally attacking two strangers at heavily trafficked locations in our city,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Furthermore, the attacks left both men with serious and permanent physical injuries, which they still endure today. We will continue to treat assaults with the seriousness they deserve and hold people accountable when they harm fellow New Yorkers.”  

“Cha’la Jamison ferociously attacked and seriously injured a New Yorker who was just doing his job,” said District Attorney Bragg. “This attack has significantly impacted the victim, who continues to suffer physical pain and emotional trauma, and has been unable to work. I hope this sentence can offer some peace and comfort, despite the serious harm that occurred. I thank our prosecutors for working diligently to secure accountability in this case.”
