A group of Bronx vigilantes meted out street justice on a sicko who tried to rape a 70-year-old woman — beating him up so badly that he landed in the hospital, cops and residents said Tuesday.
Oswaldo Ramos, a 50-year-old career criminal with 19 previous arrests, had approached his victim from behind at Creston Avenue and East 184th Street in Fordham Heights around 1 p.m. Friday and tried to sexually assault her, police and residents said.
Surveillance video released by the NYPD showed the perv scrambling to put his pants on after the attack.
The next day, vigilante neighbors spotted the wanted man nearby after apparently recognizing him from the released footage and took matters into their own hands, law-enforcement sources told NBC 4 New York.
The enraged locals allegedly grabbed Ramos at Tiebout Avenue and East 187th Street and roughed him up to the point that he needed medical care.
An anonymous caller told detectives later that day about the crew of vigilantes, the outlet said.
Before hanging up, the caller told detectives they could find their suspect in the hospital, the outlet reported.
One of the vigilante residents confessed to the beat-down to The Post on Tuesday – and said he would do it again.
“Yeah, we beat him up,” said the local man, who did not want to be identified.
“You don’t do that, that’s something you don’t do,” he said of the suspect.
“And if he comes back, I’m going to rock him again.”

Most people think that we have cops, courts, and prisons to protect good people from evil people.
Actually it’s the reverse that’s true.

Justice will be done, one way or another...
“Now youse can’t leave.”
Great scene.

“Rough up”? That’s all?
Good. Glad to know there are still pockets of “old school”.
“..Oswaldo Ramos, a 50-year-old career criminal with 19 previous arrests..”
Baack in the day, he would have shuffled off his mortal coil after about 3 or 4 arrests in America. In Crap York he’s free range. But then those filth deserve it.
Have a feeling we will see more of this
A 50 year old white guy tries to rape some old lady 3,000 miles away, and it makes national news. They have 4 still pics and a video of this guy! Then they brag about how many arrests their criminals have!
Wowza...
Yup. The system was not set up to help us. It’s there to protect them.
Correct. Vigilantism is called “self-help”. The half-dozen sanctuary cities mandated in the Old Testament illustrate the concept well.
GOOD FOR THEM!!!!
Beat the cr*p out of him AND dropped the dime.
Excellent!
Bronx Justice.
All these years of low quality law enforcement and terribly ineffective and corrupt justice system gave them all a chance to reform but they didn't. Now others will move into the gap.
They should have broken both of his legs, arms, hands, nd feet.
Oswaldo Ramos, and no mention of his legal status in this country. I would think that he is an American citizen, that might have been mentioned, but maybe I’m just suspicious that way. Wonder why.
He needs to be disappeared.
