POLICE SAY they’ve identified the brute who yanked a disabled 77-year-old Bronx man from his wheelchair and badly injured him.
Kevan Seales, 25, has been linked to the Sunday morning attack on Cruger Ave. in Pelham Parkway, Capt. Thomas Alps said in a tweet on Wednesday.
Seales (photo) allegedly approached victim George Barreto near Mace Ave. about 7:30 a.m., pulling him from his wheelchair and knocking him to the ground. Seales then placed him back in the chair. Barreto was treated at Jacobi Medical Center for a shattered pelvis and internal injuries. COPS HAVE busted a Brooklyn ex-con suspected of randomly slashing a 21-year-old man who was headed home on the subway after a day at Comic Con, police said Wednesday.
Kaiseem Tankersley, 31, was charged with the unprovoked razor attack on Oct. 8 aboard the A train that left Anthony Durden with a gash that stretched from his ear to his jawline.
Tankersley has been charged with assault.
“I was having a lot of fun before that,” Durden told the Daily News after the attack near the Beach 60th St. station. “Next thing I know I was covered in blood.”
