UPDATE FROM NY POST.COM -LINK HERE  NY Post offered a clear photo of the attacker outside St. Demetrios – you can see it here. Until the NY D.A. stops falsely accusing Donal Trump with a “factory” of accusations and start jailing the real criminals we will not see a reprieve from the high rates of criminal activity in NYC…

Darla Miles has the story in Queens on the robbery.

JAMAICA HILLS, Queens (WABC) — A 68-year-old woman is in critical condition after becoming a victim in a brutal punching attack and robbery in Queens on Sunday.

Police say the attack happened just 8:30 a.m. at the St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in front of 84-35 152 Street in Jamaica.

The victim was followed from behind and when she reached the top of the stairs, the suspect jumped in front of her and knocked her down so hard she went airborne.

The suspect was captured on surveillance camera.

EMS took the victim to Booth Memorial Hospital following the attack.

Head Priest Konstantinos Kalogridis said that the woman is awake and recovering.

“I visited her yesterday at the hospital. She was alert. She was conscious. I gave her, you know, a blessing, gave her holy communion and gave her a little prayer and an icon,” he said.

Meanwhile, the thief was able to get away with a cellphone, credit cards and $300 in cash before fleeing the scene in the victim’s 2006 Nissan Altima.

The suspect was described as 18-25 years old, 5’8″ and medium build. He was last seen wearing a red hooded sweatshirt under a black jacket, black pants, black face mask and black sneakers with red trim.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

  1. All Greek Orthodox Churches need to create Armed(Firearms) Church Security Teams posted outside church doors. These churches are located in high crime rate Democrat States who allow criminals to get away with crimes.

  2. It is the traitors in our own Greek community that have enabled criminals and made our communities prone to these crimes. Who are the traitors you ask? Michael Giannaris and Andrew Gounardes-the two extreme leftwing radical state senators who along with the other communist democrats such as AOC and her like that have passed criminal friendly laws such as “bail reform” which allows criminals out of jail immediately without having to post bail or otherwise be kept in jail until trial. They have marched and supported “black lives matter” they have supported “defund the police” and the list goes on. Until people wake up from their stupidity and realize who is creating the problems in our communities-democrats- and vote these communists out, we will only have more and more of this happening until you won’t even be able to go out and buy a gallon of milk from your neighborhood supermarket without being attacked. Wake Up People! Stop voting for these traitors-and stop inviting them to our parades and honoring them! Honoring them for what?? For enabling criminals to murder our people and ruin our communities? Stop being selfish because you want favors from them! or because, “it’s ok they’re Greek”. Don’t you care about your community where you live? It makes me sick every time I see these people as an honored guest with the archbishop, or at the parade, or at a Greek association or even at a Greek church. Why are they there??? The heros of the independence would have kicked these people out with their boot! We need to have values and unselfishness and say to them you betrayed your own people and community by putting these laws into effect which are hurting our people and communities. You are no longer a friend but a traitor to your people and community. It does not matter that you call yourself Greek-you are not welcome here, get out!

    • Hey Mike.. but does he vote to fund the Zelensky Regime who is not protecting Clergy of faithful of our Orthodox Churches of Ukraine, but attacking them and arresting them ! Buy does he vote to fund the Israeli government to bomb Greek Orthodox and Catholic churches and Muslim mosques and murder their faithful in Palestine! But does he vote to promote Economic Sanctions legislation called ” crimes against humanity by the High Commission on Human rights now on over 1/3 the population of the world which prevents and obstructs Interstate and International trade and commerce ” a rico act violation to deprive the countries of the world to maintain the welfare and economic viability of the civilian populations to feed their children and run businesses to employ the civilian population? Stop wining about what harm he does to the Greek Community of Chicago , who the Greek community elected because he was Greek ..and nothing to do about his political affiliation or views , but thanks to the Greek community .. has done great harm to the foreign citizens and communities thruout the world! Now that’s real damage to the Greek faithful and communities! As my grandmother said … “Better to lose both your eyes, than lose your Name” Now you can call him a “Traitor” ///////1

  3. Why don’t they show his face? They will release him and he will repeat his violent acts and life goes on in NYC and in USA. Laokratia
