The suspects looked right at him. “Young guys – they’re not past 19 or 18, 17,” the witness said. “A light-skinned guy looked at me and the other guy said,went like that, ‘Forget it.'” As 1010 WINS’ Al Jones reported, the 71-yearold woman in the ambulance was hospitalized at Kings County Hospital. Doctors said they expect her to make a full recovery.Police were questioning a person of interest in the incident late Wednesday, and were looking for a second suspect.
