  • The victim suffered cuts and bruises to his head and arms and was taken by EMS to Jamaica Hospital Medical Center where he was listed in stable condition.
  • Detectives from the NYPD 107th Precinct arrested 37-year-old Terrell Jarrett on June 19 at a location he frequents and booked him at the precinct.
