In a video released by the New York police, it can be seen how the assailant appears from behind the woman and, after a silent and pronounced movement of his armed arm, attacks the limb of his victim. After cutting it, he walks backwards and runs away.
The woman, who was returning from shopping with her shopping cart, was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition. the man ran away. The police demand that those who have seen it give notice.

The trader was Nigerian. He had a wife and an 8-year-old son. Ferlazzo was arrested for voluntary homicide and robberysince after killing Alika he also took his cell phone.
All this was recorded for the passive attitude of the witnesses, who instead of trying to separate them recorded the beating with their phones.
“The murder of Alika Ogorchukwu is overwhelming. The unprecedented ferocity. The widespread indifference. There can be no justification, nor is silence enough. The extreme outrage against Alika would be to turn the page and forget”, denounced the leader of the Democratic Party , Enrico Letta.
