Police Search For Suspects In Brutal Bronx Attacks

2009_05_elevattack.jpg Four men are wanted in connection with two attacks at the Butler Houses in the Bronx. On April 3, the group attacked a 45-year-old man in front of a building around 11 p.m.; they also robbed him. Then, on April 18, they struck again at 2:30 a.m.—and the assault was caught on camera. WABC 7 reports, "Police said two men were assaulted as they entered the building. A 43-year-old victim was struck in the head with a bottle, pushed into an elevator and robbed. He needed stitches to his head. The other victim, a 46-year-old man, was pushed to the ground in the hallway and robbed." One suspect has been identified as Tyrone Hines; police are asking people with additional information about him and the other suspects to contact CrimeStoppers (800-577-TIPS or online).

According to the 1010 WINS site, police named Tyrone Hines, 21, as one of the four suspects wanted in connection with the assault and robbery. This article calls the suspect Tyrone Hicks. Are there multiple Tyrones implicated in these assaults?

Thanks for pointing that out—I've corrected the post.

No need for a perp description I can see them in the picture.
