Welcome back to the news. Live at noon.
Need you to pay close attention to your screen right there.
Philadelphia police, they're asking for your help at this hour
to identify that bicycle. Is that man right there caught
on camera in a violent, unprovoked assault?
On a woman in Chinatown. This is 10th and Race Street.
It happened back on November 3rd in the afternoon.
So you're seeing what he's wearing even down to his shoes.
If you recognize him, police want to hear from you.
It's a 60 year old woman.
That is the story that one Chris O'Connell is on this afternoon.
Good afternoon to you, Chris.
Good afternoon, guys. You've pretty much said it all.
A brazen attack in the middle of the afternoon.
We are just getting video at this point
from this assault that happened. It was actually
on Election Day, about 2:45 last Tuesday afternoon,
when a 60-year-old woman was punched
Sent to the ground, flattened, and then rushed
to Temple University Hospital with injuries to her face and swelling.
Take a look at the video from police central detectives today.
We've been talking to residents and business owners here this morning.
They're rattled for what they've seen in this video just
because of the brazen attack.
What they don't know is what happened, what provoked this attack.
It happened last Tuesday, November 3rd,
just before 3 in the afternoon, right near the
The corner of 10th and Race Streets, outside a couple of restaurants,
police say a 60-year-old woman was walking along the sidewalk
when a man riding a bicycle,
believed to be a bicycle food delivery person, reached out
and struck her in the face, knocking her backward to the ground.
That woman was taken to Temple University Hospital
with pain and swelling.
Not sure how her condition is today,
but police say the suspect was wearing a pink knit hat,
red Nike sneakers, and carrying an orange Grubhub delivery bag.
It's not clear if this was a Grubhub delivery person,
but he was carrying that orange bag.
He was last seen riding on South 10th Street.
You know, people we spoke with here in Chinatown saying
this is especially disturbing, guys,
since this happened right in the middle of the afternoon.
It happened on Election Day.
And I'll see you next time.
Bye for now.
Most likely when many people were out here
on the sidewalk in the middle of a gorgeous afternoon.
So police are trying to get out this picture.
And if you know anything, they would like to hear from you,
Philadelphia police or central detectives.
But the brazenness of this attack leaving businesses and people
who live around here a little rattled this afternoon, guys.
The image, I mean, very clear here,
so perhaps it's only a matter of time before someone recognizes him.
All right, Chris O'Connell on that story today.
We appreciate the update, Chris. Thank you.
