9 Year Old Girl Is Sucker-Punched In Central Park For No Apparent Reason

A 9-year-old girl from Miami visiting the Big Apple with her mom was ‘sucker-punched’ in the head Monday while walking near Central Park — and a doorman at The Plaza made sure the assailant couldn’t flee before cops showed up.

Suspect Raheem Ramsarran, 27, allegedly punched the young tourist in the left side of her head at around 11:20 a.m. on the corner of Central Park South and Grand Army Plaza, police sources said.

“We saw a man with a backpack, a red hoodie and a beige jacket screaming at people and people literally running away from him and he was just like yelling,” said Kimberly Thomas, 24, who was working at a nearby COVID-19 testing booth Monday morning when the assault happened.

Neil Johnson, 60, was at his job as a doorman at The Plaza Hotel Monday when he heard the suspect yelling and ran to the scene to help.

“I saw the woman crying and they’re running away from this guy and he’s walking fast toward them. So got to do something,” he told the Post. “I got in between them and this crazy guy. And then another guy joined me, who apparently saw the whole thing happened. So we just made sure that this person couldn’t go.”

Johnson said he saw the poor girl holding her head and clearly in pain. He called the cops while he was trying to make sure the suspect didn’t attack her again.
