Off-duty FDNY firefighter attacked by teens after defending elderly couple, cops say

A New York City Firefighter sustained a concussion and several broken teeth Saturday after police say he was assaulted while trying to stop a group of teens from harassing an elderly couple.

The 38-year-old off-duty firefighter was traveling on East 86th St. in Manhattan at around 9:25 a.m. Saturday when he noticed six teens “harassing” an elderly couple, a spokesperson with the New York City Police Department told Fox News.

The man reportedly tried to intervene -- and police say that’s when one unidentified member of the group punched the firefighter “with a closed fist,” knocking him to the ground. The suspect then continued assaulting the man while he was down, officials said.

The firefighter was taken to Columbia University Medical Center and treated for the head and mouth injuries.

Police describe the suspects as three males and three females between the ages of 15 and 17.

No arrests had been made as of Tuesday and police say anyone with information should call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-8477.

I lived in the ghetto for 7 years,,, and for a white boy, it is Nooooo Joke,,,

This is why you need to carry a gun today. Someone threatens or is going to attack you they back their ass right down when they know you are packing.
If they do attack you your life is threatened and you put a bullet in them.

Mobdeeper believes they din do nuffin!

Ha ha

Solution???

1. Confined to 1 area
2. Electrified fence

Let them do whatever they want inside that fence. Maybe give each 1 a gun

Teen who allegedly assaulted firefighter was awaiting sentencing for burglary




Where there was smoke …

The teen who allegedly assaulted an off-duty firefighter last weekend was roaming the streets at the time because a judge had released him without bail for a robbery nine days earlier — even though he was already awaiting sentencing for felony burglary.

“There’s something wrong when a convicted felon is allowed to walk the streets and commit another crime while awaiting sentencing,” fumed one high-ranking police source Friday.

Alleged one-teen crime spree Damir Johnson, 17, first crossed the criminal justice system in January, when he was charged with breaking into a 68-year-old Bronx woman’s apartment, shoving her to the floor and demanding money, cops said.

He was hit with several charges, including robbery, assault and burglary, ultimately pleading guilty to the latter on March 28, authorities said.

Over prosecutors’ objections, Bronx Judge George Villegas offered Johnson youthful offender status and a discharge, on the condition that he complete a six-month program and another half-year of court monitoring, officials said.

But it was less than two months later that Johnson allegedly swiped two cookies and a doughnut from a 7-Eleven in Kips Bay, slugging the owner when he tried to stop him, authorities said.

At his Manhattan criminal court arraignment for the May 9 robbery, prosecutors asked Judge Ilana Marcus for $20,000 bail, pointing out that Johnson was awaiting sentencing for another felony, officials said.

But Marcus instead granted Johnson supervised release without a cent of bail.

Then, nine days after the 7-Eleven robbery, Johnson allegedly stomped an off-duty smoke-eater who dared tell him and his friends to stop hassling an elderly couple.

Bail in that case was set at $100,000.

“It is sad to find out that someone who could commit such a violent attack is allowed to be out on the street with his criminal history,” said Gerard Fitzgerald, president of the Uniformed Firefighters Association union. “When will the system start protecting the public?”

A court system spokesman defended Marcus, saying she was well within bounds to cut Johnson loose without bail.

“Judges currently have wide discretion in setting bail ensuring a defendant return to court,” said Lucian Chalfen, of the Office of Court Administration.
