The incident occurred in the Richmond area of Queens which has a large immigrant population on Saturday night.

[Sigh]

What has happened to journalism schools?

Do they mean the incident happened on Saturday night in an area with a large immigrant population?

Or that Richmond, Queens only has a large immigrant population on Saturday night?

Sheesh.

The incident occurred in the Richmond area of Queens which has a large immigrant population on Saturday night.

It's even worse. There is no "Richmond" section in Queens. "Richmond Hill" is the proper name of the section, a name that dates to the 19th century.

This New York City journalist and his editors should know the names of well-established NYC areas. It's like calling Greenwich Village "Greenwich". (He calls it "Richmond Hills" later in the article which is just as erroneous.)
