Police are looking for a man who nearly killed a transgender woman in a beating in Queens.
Around 4 a.m. Sunday, the attacker followed the 35-year-old victim — whose given name was Ricardo Sal but goes by the name Kathy — to the front of Sal’s apartment on 93rd Street in Jackson Heights, police said.
As CBS2’s Lou Young reported, in street lingo the attack was a “curb stomp” – a vicious assault with the victim already down where street and sidewalk meet.
Sal was familiar to neighbors.
“I just know that it’s one of the guys that live around here,” said neighbor Jacqueline Martinez.
CBS2’s Young reported neighbors said some of the transgender or cross-dressing renters in the neighborhood congregate late at night under the elevated No. 7 train tracks.
