BRONX - Cops are looking for a group of six women who attacked a couple with a hammer and sent one to the hospital. The brutal attack happened across the street from the site where NBA royalty broke ground for a future basketball charter school. 




The attack happened back in August but investigators have just now identified the suspects and released photos from surveillance video. 


At around 7 pm on August 17, a 29-year-old male and a 41-year-old female were inside a store at 2944 3rd Avenue in the HUB. Cops said a group of six females approached the man and woman and pounced without warning. 


The attackers struck the man in the arm with a hammer and punched him in the face. The mob then hit the woman in the face with the hammer and punched her repeatedly throughout the body. As the two victims were knocked to the ground, the attackers removed their property and ran off. 





The female victim was rushed to nearby Lincoln Hospital where she was treated and listed in stable condition. The male victim was treated but was not hospitalized.  


The attack happened across the street from the future home of a basketball charter school. Two weeks after the attack, education and NBA officials broke ground amid a gaggle of press.  


In addition that area became famous before the groundbreaking after the NYPD cleaned up an open air drug market around the corner. Rep Ritchie Torres drew attention to the open use of drugs along a corridor at 149th Street and Melrose Avenue. News reports showed users passed out on the sidewalk. Recently reporters returned to the site to find many of the addicts gone from the corridor following a police crackdown.
