Bronx Man Charged After Wednesday Morning Pipe Attacks on Two Women and Teen

The 23-year-old had been released last week in a separate Bronx assault case.

Overview

  • Police say Jeremiah White, 23, allegedly attacked three people in separate morning incidents across Morris Heights, Crotona Park East, and Claremont.
  • The first victim, identified as BronxCare nurse Virginia Alvarez, suffered head and facial injuries; a 15-year-old girl sustained a head laceration; both were reported in stable condition.
  • Officers arrested White around 10:25 a.m. Wednesday and charged him with two felony counts of assault and one misdemeanor count, with arraignment pending as of Thursday.
