Over the weekend, Greenpointers received multiple tips about an incident that took place Saturday at Transmitter Park.
According to the NYPD, a report indicates that a man put his hands on a woman’s neck and started strangling her in full view of park goers around 11:30 a.m. on May 11. She did not report any injuries.
Witnesses added additional details that the NYPD was unable to confirm, as a police report was filed after the incident occurred. They tell Greenpointers that Good Samaritans were able to intervene on the woman’s behalf.
“It was a guy with his female partner and their dog,” said a source. “Their dog was off leash and ran up to my friend’s 2 leashed dogs and they got in a fight then my friend and the man got into a verbal altercation that escalated to him choking her.”
Another witness provided a description of the offender, describing him as “a bald white overweight middle aged man, about 5’8.” They described the man’s partner as “a white woman, brown hair, a little shorter, who egged it on.”
Reminder that Transmitter Park is not an off-leash dog park. Dogs must remain on a leash. For officially designated dog-friendly areas, please check out the NYC Parks Department list here.

That is crazy, people are unhinged these days. Of course, they were the ones not following rules. Trashy people.
“who egged it on” …? what the fuck kind of reporting is that? Way to victim blame
`No, they were referring to the woman who was with the man who did the strangling, not the woman who was strangled.
The man’s partner egged it on. Read it again.
This is why people are mostly afraid to say things to entitled dog owners who let their dogs off leash. You have to assume someone that brazen is also crazy
