Roosevelt Island Public Safety Director sends the following message regarding a gang initiation assault on Roosevelt Island. The incident occurred on April 4 in the Rear Lobby of Eastwood/ Roosevelt Landings (560 Main Street) at approximately 8:30 PM.
Recently, the Public Safety Department investigated a call of several youths fighting in the lobby of one of the buildings here on Roosevelt Island. That fight turned out to be a gang initiation into a local gang, whose name I do not wish to divulge because I do not want to give them any publicity. Suffice it to say that these types of calls have been occuring more frequently among the youths under the age of 16. Because of their age, information must be kept confidential. Please read the attachment and feel free to post it or print it. While my intentions are not to alarm the public, I do wish to beckon their cooperation in preventing gang issues from becoming gang problems here on the island. Please ask your readers to report any activity to the Public Safety Department. Thank you.
