Scam Attempt Leads to Assault

On Monday, June 23rd at around 2:30 PM, a new scam incident occurred when a customer got into a car he hadn’t ordered. After realizing it wasn’t his ride, the customer got out — but the driver chased after him and physically assaulted him.

BP Shomrim received multiple calls and members quickly responded. They located the vehicle stuck in traffic and stayed on scene until officers from the NYPD’s 66th Precinct arrived and took the driver into custody.

Reminder: Always double-check that you’re getting into the correct car before entering. Your safety comes first.
