4/4 🧵 The core of the story is simple and ugly: a routine property crime became a human one in seconds. A packed parking lot, an elderly victim with limited mobility, and a getaway reckless enough to send people flying — that’s the part that sticks. 📎 Source
3/4 🧵 Three of the suspects allegedly fled in the stolen Corolla, while the fourth took off separately in a black Nissan. Both women suffered minor injuries but declined medical treatment at the scene. NYPD says the suspects are believed to be young men between 18 and 20 years old and they’re still being sought.
2/4 🧵 The incident happened around 4:20 p.m. Wednesday in Mill Basin, Brooklyn. Police say the two women, ages 72 and 48, were loading a Toyota Corolla when four young men approached. One jumped into the driver’s seat and took off, striking the older woman in her walker and knocking the 48-year-old to the ground in the process.
1/4 🧵 Four guys turned a parking lot theft into something far uglier: cops say they stole a car from two women at a Brooklyn Lowe’s, then hit both victims while speeding off — including a 72-year-old woman using a walker. That’s not just a car theft. That’s feral, reckless violence.
