NYPD are searching for the woman in the above surveillance video and below photos in connection with a recent assault of an elderly man in Fort Greene.
Just before 1pm on Thursday, May 18, inside Pepitones Pizza & Pasta located at 100 DeKalb Avenue, an unidentified woman pushed an 87-year-old man, causing him to fall over by the shop’s entrance, the police report.
The victim told police that he entered the pizza shop with a lit cigarette. The suspect, who was in the shop with a young boy (he’s the figure obscured in the bottom left corner of the video), confronted the victim about his smoking, according to police.

The suspect is described as a black female, 5’2″ tall, and 210 pounds.
