RAGING HARLEM MOB SURROUNDS SUSPECT IN ATTACK ON 11-YEAR-OLD, WOMAN – AS NYPD
COPS PROTECT HIM

By Larry Celona, Joe Marino, Amanda Woods, Dorian Geiger, Steven Vago and
Katherine Donlevy

Published May 10, 2024
Updated May 10, 2024, 10:48 p.m. ET

Cops prevented a raging mob of Harlem locals from attacking a maniac accused of
slashing an 11-year-old girl in the head on a spree through Manhattan Friday
afternoon — leaving the youngster now afraid to go outside, her distraught mom
said.

Shaquan Cummings, 30, allegedly preyed on the girl outside the 116th Street 6
subway station, then fled underground around 2:15 p.m. — moments after allegedly
punching an unsuspecting 43-year-old woman around the street corner, according
to sources.

The fiend — who has a lengthy rap sheet — knifed the youngster in the back of
the head and cut her ear as she walked down the street holding her mom’s hand,
sources said.

The child felt something on the back of her head, and when her mom turned
around, she saw “a box cutter” before the suspect fled into the subway, sources
said.

Her brave mother tried to chase down her daughter’s attacker, even hailing a
conductor to stop a train from departing, but the Cummings still managed to get
away, she recalled.

“It was traumatizing,” Gorzata Sladek told The Post Friday evening.

“Terrible. It’s terrible to see a little girl with her head cut, sliced in half
and it’s just terrible.”

A UPS worker said the young victim was “scared and crying” while she was being
treated by medics near a juice bar.

“Her head [was] bloody. Bleeding can’t stop. [She was] bleeding in her hand and
her shirt … she was crying. Scared,” he added.

The girl has since undergone surgery that required multiple stitches and staples
to fix the gash, but the emotional scars remain, according to her mother.

“She’s not doing well emotionally. She doesn’t want to go back to school. She
doesn’t want to go outside anymore,” Sladek said.

Cops ultimately tracked Cummings down just a block away, back to the spot where
he allegedly punched his first victim of the afternoon.

“Back up!” police shout at the crowd. 

“You f–king piece of s–t!” one man yells. 

“Don’t let him go!” says another man as police hold back the bloodthirsty mob.

Cops finally took Cummings into custody, who sources say has more than 20 prior
arrests, including assault, criminal mischief and fare evasion.

Cummings’ last arrest was just two months earlier. He was given a desk
appearance for an assault charge, according to law enforcement insiders.

He was charged Friday night with two counts of assault and acting in a manner
injurious to a child.

Sladek only hopes for justice in the case, and for the streets to longer be a
place where New Yorkers need to constantly look over their shoulder.

“You should be able to walk on the street and not worry that somebody will
attack you and attack, actually, my daughter not even attacking a dog, but a
little kid,” she said.
