NYPD Arrests Man For Chasing Queens Teenager Into Traffic

RICHMOND HILL, QUEENS — The man who yelled "I'm coming for you!" and chased a Queens teenager into traffic last week has been arrested, the NYPD said Wednesday.

Police have charged Kevin Ramtahal, 23, of South Ozone Park, with reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child for the incident, which ended with the 14-year-old girl getting hit by a car and rushed to the hospital, police said.

The girl was first approached by the stranger about 7:40 a.m. at the corner of 110th Street and Jamaica Avenue, police said.

She ran into the street to get away from him but was hit by a driver and had to be taken to the hospital.

Among the first responders who rushed the teen to Cohen Children's Medical Center was her father, Omar Wilks, a firefighter with Engine 294 in Queens, the New York Post reported.

"She asked me, 'Daddy, am I going to die?'" Wilks told the Post. "I assured her, 'No! You’re going to make it.'"

She was listed in stable condition at the hospital Tuesday, but she is traumatized, unable to sleep and still in a lot of pain, her father told the Post.
