Here are the top three stories today in Queens:

1. Authorities are searching for and asking the public's help locating a woman in her 20s who struck and injured a man exiting an MTA bus in Woodhaven in December. The victim was a 65-year-old man left with a black eye after being hit several times on the corner of Jamaica Avenue and Woodhaven Boulevard. The suspect is five feet, three inches tall, weighs over 180 pounds, and was last seen wearing a red jacket. (Queens Patch)
