Philadelphia Police Seek Grubhub-Backpack Suspect After 60-Year-Old Woman Is Struck in the Face in Chinatown
Philadelphia police are searching for a man who assaulted a 60-year-old woman in Chinatown. The attack happened at about 2:45 p.m. on November 3 on the 1000 block of Race Street. Surveillance video shows the man riding a bicycle and sipping a drink when he suddenly extended his arm and struck the woman in the face, then fled south on 10th Street.
The suspect was carrying an orange backpack with Grubhub branding, wore a pink knit hat and red sneakers, and rode a silver-and-blue bicycle; police said he had picked up a food delivery order nearby shortly before the attack. The woman was treated for facial pain and swelling. Ken Chan, who has lived in Chinatown for 45 years, said he had never seen anything like this happen in Chinatown in the daytime.
Grubhub said in a statement that the safety and well-being of its customers, delivery partners and communities are extremely important, that it takes allegations of violence very seriously, and that it is actively investigating. Philadelphia police urged residents not to approach the suspect, to call 911 if he is spotted, and to submit tips by calling 215-686-TIPS or anonymously online. Police have not released the suspect's name, the case remains under investigation, and Chinatown residents have voiced concern about daytime street safety.
