BROOKLYN: Three people, including a 9-year-old girl, were hurt when an unhinged assailant randomly attacked them on a Brooklyn street and on a nearby MTA bus Friday morning, cops said.
The 9-year-old girl and a 41-year-old woman were walking at 39th Street and Fifth Avenue in Sunset Park around 7:50 a.m. when Simon Osiris, 22, randomly attacked them, authorities said. The relationship between the two victims remained unclear later in the afternoon.
Osiris also attacked a 37-year-old woman who was on-board an MTA bus nearby, cops said.
He also allegedly broke a cell phone belonging to one of the victims.
All three were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, police said.
Responding cops arrested Osiris a short time after the assault, cops said.
Osiris, whose last known address is in Crown Heights, was slapped with multiple counts of assault, acting in a manner injurious to a child and criminal mischief, authorities said.
The exact nature of the assault was unclear by the afternoon.
