NYPD Crime Stoppers is asking for the public's help finding an attacker who struck a 47-year-old man in the face near the corner of Kissena Boulevard and Main Street in Flushing on April 11, 2026. According to the alert, the assault happened at about 11:15 p.m., and the suspect ran off on foot. Police have not released the victim's condition.
A wanted bulletin posted on X by NYPD Crime Stoppers states that an unidentified individual hit the victim in the face with an unknown object and then fled in an unknown direction. The post lists the incident as taking place within the NYPD's 109th Precinct and asks anyone with information to contact Crime Stoppers. The bulletin went up on May 7, 2026, nearly four weeks after the April 11 attack, as detectives look for fresh leads.
How to report a tip
Anyone with information can call the Crime Stoppers tip line at 1-800-577-TIPS or submit an internet tip through the department's portal, according to NYPD Crime Stoppers. Spanish-language tips can be made at 1-888-57-PISTA, as noted by CBS New York, and tipsters who provide information that leads to an arrest and indictment may be eligible for rewards of up to $3,500.
Where the attack unfolded
The intersection sits within the NYPD's 109th Precinct, which covers Downtown Flushing and surrounding neighborhoods. Main Street at Kissena Boulevard is a busy transit and retail corridor, with multiple bus stops and heavy foot traffic, which increases the chances that nearby surveillance cameras or passersby could help investigators, per MTA.
What to watch next
No arrests have been announced so far, and any further updates or surveillance images, if released, are likely to appear through NYPD Crime Stoppers or the 109th Precinct's channels. Local coverage of similar NYPD bulletins has shown that community tips and video can be decisive in cases like this, so detectives are asking residents to preserve any footage from the night in question and call in.
