A Brooklyn man accused of mowing down an 11-year-old boy on Ocean Parkway, then vanishing overseas, is now back in New York and facing charges. Police arrested Tehron Sheraliev on April 22, bringing a months-long hit-and-run investigation to a head after he allegedly fled the country in the wake of the crash.

Crash on Ocean Parkway

The collision unfolded on Oct. 13, 2025, around 5:50 p.m., at Ocean Parkway and Avenue V in Gravesend. Police say a black 2026 Acura Integra slammed into an 11-year-old riding a seated electric scooter, then kept going without stopping.

The car was later found abandoned about a half-mile from the scene. Investigators say the Acura had maneuvered around other vehicles to beat a traffic light before the impact, according to reporting from amNewYork.

Arrest, charges and the boy's injuries

According to the New York Daily News, police say Sheraliev fled to Qatar and later Russia after the October crash. Investigators estimated the Acura was traveling at more than 50 mph, and debris from the impact was powerful enough to hurl the child a considerable distance.

Authorities say Sheraliev eventually returned to the United States in March but backed out of a planned surrender. That decision prompted the NYPD’s Collision Investigation Squad to seek a warrant, and officers arrested him on April 22.

Sheraliev is now charged with leaving the scene of an accident, vehicular assault, reckless driving and reckless endangerment. An arraignment is pending in Brooklyn Criminal Court.

The boy, identified in reports as 11-year-old Egot Mudaev, suffered critical head and body trauma. Police say doctors removed his spleen, treated smashed teeth and repaired fractures to both arms and both legs. He was initially treated at Maimonides Medical Center and later transferred to a rehabilitation facility, according to reporting.

Local safety concerns

The case has once again put a spotlight on speeding, reckless driving and scooter safety along Ocean Parkway and across southern Brooklyn. The 61st Precinct has logged dozens of injuries this year involving riders of motorized two-wheel devices, while NYPD precinct TrafficStat data show persistent problems with speeding and other moving violations.

Neighborhood advocates have been pushing for tougher enforcement, more speed and red-light cameras and better protected space for people on scooters and bikes, according to the NYPD TrafficStat report.

What comes next

From here, prosecutors will move Sheraliev’s case through Brooklyn Criminal Court, where judges and attorneys will determine how to advance the charges and whether to seek that he remain behind bars before trial.

Investigators say the Collision Investigation Squad is still reviewing video and following up on tips. Anyone with information about the Oct. 13 crash had previously been urged to contact Crime Stoppers, according to local reporting.
