But we begin with that brazen attack on a woman
in Philadelphia's Chinatown neighborhood.
Tonight, new surveillance video shows the assailant,
believed to be a food delivery worker,
riding off on a bicycle. This is the news at five.
I'm Sheba Russell. Neighbors and business
owners are on edge tonight as police search for that man responsible.
And Chris, you spoke with
some people who say they are worried about
their safety, and rightly so.
That's right, Shiva. The attack happened right here
in the heart of Chinatown and people who
live and work here are especially concerned
because this was an unprovoked attack on a
woman that happened in the middle of the afternoon in broad daylight.
Tonight, police are still searching for the suspect.
A disturbing attack that has people
in Chinatown looking over their shoulders.
Fox 29 obtained this video of a food delivery man
the moments just before the assault on 10th and Race
last Tuesday, Election Day, around 2.45 in the afternoon.
Police say he was riding his bike on the sidewalk
when he struck a 60-year-old woman in the face
and just kept riding.
She was sent to Temple University Hospital with swelling
and injuries to her face.
It's scary. It's really scary.
I mean, it's scary.
I don't want to say that's the way things are, but it's scary.
It shouldn't be like that, you know?
And somebody should have intervened.
Police released this video showing the man riding
a bicycle shortly before the attack.
Hoping someone will recognize him.
The violence left people who live
and work in Chinatown wondering if they could be next.
I have a lot of concern because I'm a concierge and I try to keep,
you know, my building or my residence safe.
And that's what I focus all day on.
And when you're out here in the street, you know, a man assaulting.
An elderly woman, you know, I'm 60 myself, and that's a lot of concern.
Maria Santiago works as a building concierge in Chinatown.
She says she's now worried about her own safety
and the people she looks after.
Police are looking for a black male
with a pink knit cap, red Nike sneakers,
and last seen carrying an orange Grubhub delivery bag.
I feel very scary now.
I definitely got to let, you know, my residents know about this.
And police are asking anyone who may recognize that man,
especially some of these Chinatown
restaurant workers
who may recognize that driver from other food deliveries to come
forward to call Philadelphia police or central detectives.
Shiva.
Well, that's some good video there, Chris.
So only a matter of time before he is caught.
Thank you.
