A Whole Angry NYC Hood Came For This Man Accused of Doing Something Terrible to A Girl
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
After the East Harlem neighborhood discovered a young girl had been struck with a knife, they seemed more prepared to pull up on the suspect than the cops themselves were.
The NYPD alleges 30-year-old Shaquan Cummings slashed an 11-year-old girl near her ear by the Lexington and 116th Ave subway station Friday afternoon. The girl’s mother told The New York Post that her daughter felt something on the back of her head when the two turned around and saw Cummings with a box cutter.
Witnesses told The Post it looked like her head had been sliced in half. The girl’s mother told reporters she tried to chase Cummings down but he fled into the subway and the train took off.
The pursuit to find him didn’t last long as the police caught him shortly after he fled from the slashing. However, that wasn’t even the best part of justice being served.
Let’s talk about how when the NYPD located Cummings, he was met with an angry mob of Harlem residents who wanted to take justice into their own hands, according to a viral video that’s circulated on social media.

About half a dozen NYPD cops are seen using their bodies to create a barricade around Cummings on the side of a building while trying to ward off punches and objects being thrown. One man off camera pokes at him with a walking cane. The cops could barely get the cuffs on him.
In the video, Cummings cowers behind his wall of blue badges until he pops back up and there, you see it: the look of sheer terror. If I could read facial expressions, I’d imagine he thought, “Damn, I f****d up.”
The NYPD charged him with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and endangering the welfare of a child. As for the shorty who bore the brunt of the incident, he mother told The Post she had to undergo surgery and tons of stitches to seal the wound. She’s now afraid to step outside.
These days, in /Gotham/ New York City, you gotta be ready to fight for your life walking these streets.
