Bloodthirsty NYC Mob Seeks Justice for Slashed Child — NYPD Intervenes
In a shocking event unfolding on the streets of New York City, a man accused of grievously assaulting an 11-year-old girl and a woman was pursued by an enraged crowd before being shielded by the New York Police Department (NYPD). A narrative of swift police action, vigilante justice, and a city’s outrage at a horrific crime takes shape in this gritty urban tableau.
Around 2:15 p.m. on a Friday afternoon, a young girl was brutally attacked near the East 116th Street subway station in East Harlem. As reported by the police, the young girl was holding her mother’s hand on a downtown platform when she was slashed in the back of the head and had her ear cut by what appears to have been a box cutter.
“I saw a guy; he was trying to get off the train car, and he was near the third rail. I asked him what happened, and he said people were chasing him and trying to kill him, but people were yelling he stabbed someone. I grabbed him because I saw the police were running toward us, but he managed to escape,” an anonymous MTA employee shared with WPIX.
The accused, identified as 30-year-old Shaquan Cummings, was reported to have run into the subway station and boarded a train following the attack. The mother of the victim reportedly pursued him but was unsuccessful in capturing him.
Minutes before the assault on the young girl, the suspect was allegedly involved in another violent incident. He is said to have punched an unsuspecting 43-year-old woman around the street corner, further adding to his alleged crimes.
“It was traumatizing. Terrible. It’s terrible to see a little girl with her head cut, sliced in half and it’s just terrible,” the victim’s mother, Gorzata Sladek, told the New York Post. Further details of the horrific incident were shared by a UPS worker who mentioned that the victim was “bleeding in her hand and her shirt … she was crying. Scared.”
Following the attack, the young girl was provided medical assistance near a juice bar before being quickly transported to a local hospital. The severity of her wounds required surgery which included multiple stitches and staples to heal the gash.
In the aftermath of this brutal assault, an irate crowd managed to track down the alleged assailant, cornering him about a block away from where he had reportedly attacked the woman earlier. NYPD officers had to step in to protect Cummings from the crowd, which was demanding its version of justice.
“You f***ing piece of s**t!” echoed through the streets, a sentiment from the crowd that encapsulated the popular outrage. The video evidence shows members of the crowd shouting and poking the alleged suspect with a cane.
Cummings was eventually detained by the police and charged with two counts of assault and acting in a manner injurious to a child. The repeat offender’s arrest record spans more than 20 prior arrests, encompassing crimes ranging from assault, criminal mischief, to fare evasion.
The mother of the young victim, reflecting on the traumatic incident, stated, “You should be able to walk on the street and not worry that somebody will attack you and attack, actually, my daughter not even attacking a dog, but a little kid.” According to her, the child is not faring well emotionally following the incident. She shared, “She doesn’t want to go back to school. She doesn’t want to go outside anymore.”

Traveling across the United States is one of the great freedoms Americans enjoy. Whether you’re driving state to state, flying cross-country, or taking a long road trip, staying safe and fully within the law doesn’t require anything complicated. It just takes preparation, awareness, and a few essentials that every traveler should have in place before they go.
Here are five things you need to travel across America confidently, safely, and legally.
1. Valid Government-Issued Identification
This is non-negotiable.
A valid ID proves who you are and allows you to travel without unnecessary delays or problems.
For most people, this means:
- A valid driver’s license or REAL ID
- A state-issued ID card if you don’t drive
- A valid U.S. passport (especially useful for air travel)
If you’re flying, your ID must meet TSA requirements. If you’re driving, your license must be current and not suspended. Keep your ID easily accessible, but secure.
2. Proof of Legal Residency or Citizenship (If Applicable)
If you are a U.S. citizen, carrying proof such as a passport or passport card adds an extra layer of security during long trips, especially near border states or when flying.
If you are a legal resident or visa holder, you should always carry:
- Your valid visa or green card
- Any required travel documents associated with your status
Having proper documentation protects you from misunderstandings and unnecessary stress.
3. Proper Vehicle Documents (If Driving)
If you’re traveling by car, make sure your paperwork is up to date.
This includes:
- Vehicle registration
- Proof of insurance
- A valid driver’s license
Law enforcement checks are routine and usually brief when paperwork is in order. Keeping documents organized shows responsibility and helps everything go smoothly.
4. A Safe and Legal Travel Plan
You don’t need a strict itinerary, but you should know where you’re going and how you’ll get there.
A smart travel plan includes:
- Knowing your route and major stops
- Booking legal accommodations (hotels, campgrounds, or rentals)
- Understanding basic state laws (speed limits, phone use, toll roads)
Each state has its own rules, and being aware of them helps you avoid fines or problems.
5. Emergency Contacts and Communication
Safety isn’t just about laws — it’s about preparedness.
Carry a charged phone, a car charger or power bank, and a written list of emergency contacts in case technology fails.
It’s also wise to:
- Share your travel plans with someone you trust
- Check weather conditions regularly
- Keep emergency numbers saved and written down
Prepared travelers are calm travelers.
Final Thought
Traveling across America legally and safely doesn’t require fear or special permissions. It requires valid identification, proper documents, respect for local laws, and basic preparedness.
When you travel with everything in order, you’re free to enjoy the journey — not worry about it.
Emergencies don’t always come with a warning. Power outages, break-ins, severe weather, or unexpected disturbances can leave you needing to protect yourself long enough to get to safety. While the goal is never to engage or escalate, having everyday household items you can rely on for protection can give you valuable time, confidence, and control.
The following items are commonly found in most homes and can be used responsibly to create distance, draw attention, or help you escape when needed.
- A Heavy-Duty Flashlight
A solid flashlight is one of the most useful protective tools in an emergency.
A bright beam can temporarily disorient someone in a dark room, allowing you to move away or secure a door. It also helps you navigate safely during power outages, avoid hazards, and signal for help.
Keep one near your bed and another in a main living area. Choose LED models with long battery life.
- A Fire Extinguisher
Most people think of fire extinguishers only for fires, but they also offer protection in other emergencies.
A quick spray creates a cloud that can block vision and breathing for a moment, giving you a chance to escape. The extinguisher itself is also sturdy enough to hold defensively while you move away from danger.
Every home should have at least one accessible extinguisher.
- A Sturdy Walking Cane or Umbrella
A cane or strong umbrella provides reach and distance without requiring physical strength.
These items can be used to keep space between you and a threat, block movement, or help you maneuver safely toward an exit. Many people already keep one near a door or bedroom, making it easy to grab quickly.
- A Loud Personal Alarm or Whistle
Sound is a powerful protective tool.
A personal alarm or whistle can startle an intruder, alert neighbors, and draw immediate attention to your situation. It’s especially helpful if shouting isn’t an option or if you live in close quarters like an apartment or townhome.
These devices are inexpensive, simple to use, and effective.
- A Doorstop or Heavy Furniture
Creating a barrier can be more effective than any object in your hands.
A basic rubber doorstop can slow or prevent a door from opening, buying you time to call for help or escape. Heavy furniture, when used carefully, can block entry points and turn a room into a temporary safe space.
Final Reminder
Protection during emergencies is about time and distance, not confrontation.
Use everyday items only as a last resort and only to help you reach safety or get help.
Preparation doesn’t mean fear — it means being ready to act calmly when it matters most.
In any large-scale collapse scenario, medical help may be delayed or unavailable entirely. Hospitals may be overwhelmed, pharmacies closed, and emergency responders unable to reach you. In those moments, having the right medical supplies can mean the difference between a manageable injury and a life-threatening situation. A survival medical kit should focus on stopping bleeding, preventing infection, managing pain, and keeping you functional.
Here are ten critical medical supplies you should carry for survival during an apocalypse or any extreme emergency.
1. Tourniquet
Severe bleeding is one of the fastest ways people die from injuries. A proper tourniquet allows you to stop life-threatening blood loss from arms or legs within seconds. This is one of the most important items in any survival medical kit.
2. Compression Bandages
Compression bandages apply steady pressure to wounds and help control bleeding. They are especially useful for deep cuts, punctures, and traumatic injuries. They also help secure wound dressings in place when movement is unavoidable.
3. Sterile Gauze Pads
Gauze is essential for cleaning wounds, absorbing blood, and protecting injuries from dirt and bacteria. Carry multiple sizes so you can handle both small cuts and larger wounds. Clean wounds heal faster and are far less likely to become infected.
4. Antiseptic Wipes or Solution
Infections become deadly quickly when antibiotics are unavailable. Antiseptic wipes, iodine swabs, or antiseptic spray help kill bacteria before it enters the body. Cleaning a wound properly is just as important as stopping the bleeding.
5. Medical Tape
Medical tape secures bandages, gauze, and splints. It is lightweight, versatile, and far more reliable than improvised solutions. Tape can also be used to reinforce blisters and prevent minor injuries from getting worse during long travel.
6. Pain Relievers
Pain can limit movement, focus, and decision-making. Over-the-counter pain relievers help reduce inflammation, headaches, muscle pain, and fever. Staying mobile and alert during a survival situation is critical.
7. Antibiotic Ointment
Topical antibiotic ointment adds another layer of protection against infection. Even small cuts can turn serious when sanitation is poor. A small tube takes almost no space and can prevent days or weeks of complications.
8. Tweezers
Tweezers are vital for removing splinters, glass, thorns, ticks, and debris from wounds. Leaving foreign objects embedded in the skin increases infection risk and slows healing. Precision tools matter when conditions are rough.
9. Nitrile Gloves
Protecting yourself while treating injuries is essential. Gloves reduce the spread of bacteria and protect both the injured person and the caregiver. They are especially important when dealing with blood or open wounds.
10. Emergency Medical Guide
In a collapse scenario, you may need to treat injuries you have never dealt with before. A small first-aid or emergency medical guide gives step-by-step instructions when stress makes thinking difficult. Knowledge becomes as valuable as any tool you carry.
Final Thoughts
Medical preparedness is often overlooked in survival planning, yet injuries are more likely than dramatic threats. Cuts, falls, burns, and infections happen fast and worsen without care. Carrying these ten medical supplies gives you the ability to stabilize injuries, prevent infection, and stay functional when professional help is no longer available.

This POS should be either drawn and quartered or hanged. He hurt a little girl with a razor/box cutter. And before that, he cut a woman? This criminal because of the inept NYC justice system will let him out again so he can harm others until he kills someone. The victims of these crimes should sue the mayor, city council, and the governor as they are the people responsible for the laws that return these criminals back to the public streets to commit more crimes.
Hey, Mr. Mayor, you decided to cut police budgets to house the damn illegals that your buddy biden is shipping into your city and you penalize your citizens for that. Great job Mayor.
Biden should have shut down the border the same way that Trump did. Now you and the citizens of NYC are paying the price because there aren’t enough police nor other city services all because of the damn illegals…

As a Ret. LEO, we as a society are lacking the fundamental resources to deal with the ills of society ie Drug addiction, mental illness and other individual afflictions that plague members of society. If our government can easily donate hundreds of billions to foreign countries for their war efforts, we can easily afford to fund our cities and communities basic public health services to address those in desperate need be it mental health or other human services. We are facing a national division that’s being exploited by corporations and their owners, who want to end social welfare, unions and civil rights because there’s no profit in that endeavor. We must enhance Public welfare that only enriches society as a whole.

People of all states, esp blue, time to take back this country from the liberal elites, they are responsible for shit like this. No bail for violent crimes, rotating door for criminals and soros backed Da’s refusing to prosecute. Time to make the criminals scared again. They should have beat him to death.
