NY Firefighters take down suspect accused of punching woman in face
WMC5/WCBS ^ | 9/7/20 | WCBS Staff

An assailant is being held accountable for allegedly punching a 60-year-old woman on the street, right in front of a New York City fire station. The firefighters inside made sure he didn’t get away.

Surveillance video shows a 60-year-old woman in a blue shirt walking down the sidewalk when a man on a bicycle swerves over and punches her in the face, knocking her down. He speeds off as four firefighters run after him.

The chase continued around the corner, where the firefighters struggled with the suspect and eventually took him to the ground. Police say while trying to restrain the suspect, a 29-year-old firefighter was punched in the eye, causing bruising and swelling.

Police later identified the suspect as 53-year-old Daniel Biggs, who has 18 prior arrests from robbery to assault. They say the victim doesn’t know Biggs. His motive for the alleged assault is unclear.

Affirmative sir. She was walking while white. It reminded me of the scene from Death Wish. “We kind of roughed him up a little. Gee whiz, the poor guy musta fell down.

True. That’s true. I think that is the biggest difference between Leftists and conservatives.

We are more color blind than they are, by a long shot.

I recently purchased an excellent documentary “Uncle Tom” about black conservatives (featuring people like Larry Elder, Alan West, Candace Owen, Thomas Sowell, and many others)

Watching it, I was reminded that they are part of our movement not because of the color of their skin or their gender, but because they are CONSERVATIVE.

On the Left, color and gender are everything.

Biggs’ last arrest was on Aug. 2 after he allegedly slashed a 26-year-old man in the face.

Who could have ever predicted this?!?! /s

Bingo.

Always the complaints with crime worrying about #arrests, policemen, how many beats, etc.

NEVER in these ‘Rat-infested cities do any of these elected Dem officials talk about JUDGES andCOURTS and RETENTION IN PRISON.

Knowledge of the violence is suppressed, the narrative is pushed.

It reminds me of the race riot aboard the USS Kitty Hawk in October, 1972.

Biggs’ last arrest was on Aug. 2 after he allegedly slashed a 26-year-old man in the face.

So naturally, this piece of excrement was held with no bail since he was a danger to society.

Wait, what??? He wasn't?!!! The "enlightened" of the NY political realm dictated otherwise??? The inmates are obviously running the asylum called New York City.

You’re right, it’s not readily discernible that the victim is white. However, this wasn’t a purse-snatching or rape attempt or other crime. He swerved over to her to knock her out. That only happens to people who are perceived as white. It’s called the knock out game.

These guys attacked me at night walking between the enlisted quarters, one guy came up behind me and kicked me hard in the ass, and when I turned around to see him there and asked what that was for, he said “I don’t like your hat”.

I was wearing a squadron hat (VA-46), and it seemed weird to me that someone would take issue with that...hell, who had that much dislike for another unit back in the Seventies?

I took off my glasses and let him know he and I were going to have it out, and three other guys came out and surrounded me, and the beating was on.

It was only recently that it occurred to me why the guy disliked my hat.

We were VA-46, a Scottish themed squadron with plaid on our planes, and the officers actually had ceremonial kilts and Glengarry covers. The tartan on the plane was the MacDougall Clan, and our motto was “Conquer or Die” an arm with a clenched sword. Our officers got royal treatment when we went to Edinburgh, Scotland...:)

The squadron was known as “The Clansmen”.

These racist illiterate dicks probably saw “Clansmen” and read it as “Klansman” and that was enough. Actually, that might have been irrelevant. They were probably just polar bear hunting.

As an aside, once, someone did overpaint the “C” in “Clansmen” with a “K” on our plane to read “Klansmen” which even the black guys in our squadron found hilarous, but the brass saw no humor in it at all.

Funny thing was, I never, ever made that connection until recently, when my Navy Buddy sent me a military hat with “The Clansmen” embroidered on the back of the hat...it never occurred to me that it was that, not the “VA-46”...:)

Light dawns on Marblehead...

Some people just need killing.

I thought it was the knock-out game, but the old lady it looks to me like the old lady is also black. So this is black on black crime, not the knock-out game.

The video looks like black on black crime to me. If anybody can tell for sure, then please correct me, but the old lady appears to be black also to me. That being the case, I dont’ know the motive. Just a mean person or maybe he felt left out of all the fun without white people to prey on. I don’t know.

I know about the knockout game, but my first impression in this case was that the victim is black. I could be wrong, but that's my impression.

She may be black. It is very hard to tell from this footage. I’ve never heard of the knock out game being used against any except for whites. In any case, what this criminal did was awful. I do wish the courts would stop letting these people out without bail. They should sit there in jail.

Agreed - this guy should have been sitting in a prison cell. Then this attack wouldn’t have happened.
