New York in shock after death of woman in Times Square

A tragedy that shocks New York. On Saturday, Maria Ambrocia, a 58-year-old nurse oncologist died of her injuries. The day before, she had been violently pushed into Times Square, ending up on the ground. The suspect had just stolen the cell phone from another woman and was trying to escape when he ran over Maria Ambrocio. Emilia Cruz, a friend of the victim who was present with her at the time of the tragedy, said the man, 26-year-old Jermaine Foster, was being pursued and was trying to escape at the time of the incident. “I heard a loud noise as if something had hit the concrete,” she commented to the “New York Post”.

The friend added that she tried to talk to Maria Ambrocio, but she was already unconscious. She was taken to hospital but did not survive. “I watched them unplug it. I held her hand until the last pulse, ”said the victim’s brother, Carlito Spa Maria. He added that he and his sister were waiting for the coronavirus pandemic to slow down so they could travel to the Philippines to bury their father – who died of covid-19 in April. “We had to come home and give my dad a real funeral, and now she’s gone,” he said. Maria Ambrocio was married, had four stepchildren and several grandchildren.

CBS reports that Jermaine Foster, who was quickly arrested after the incident, is also suspected of entering a woman’s apartment around 90 minutes before the incident in Times Square. The victim, who asked not to be identified, said she thought he was a food delivery guy and let him into her apartment building, but he actually demanded money from her. She called for help and tried to keep him inside until the police arrived, but he walked away quickly with about $ 15. The American channel indicates that he was also arrested last month in Midtown after allegedly harassing a woman in the street. He was reportedly charged with forced touching and sent to hospital for a psychiatric assessment.
