Accused UES Stroller Menace, Subway Shover Arrested: Cops

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — Two men who police say were separately behind a campaign of stroller-terror and a random subway shove of a grandpa were both arrested and charged Thursday, officials said.

Sam Mensah, 32, and Derrick Mills, 49, were both cuffed and charged with assault on Thursday afternoon and evening, according to the NYPD

Mensah, who listed his address as a South Bronx family homeless shelter, is believed to be the stroller-pushing madman who randomly shoved a 64-year-old to the ground on Saturday afternoon in Lenox Hill, police said.

According to claims from frightened neighbors — first published by local news site East Side Feed — Mensah is the same man who has been targeting and attacking neighborhood women all summer; shoving, punching and spitting on people, often while simultaneously pushing a child in a stroller.

“It was like completely on purpose," one shoved victim, who wished to remain anonymous, told the New York Post days after East Side Feed broke the story. "And I was shocked because he had a baby with him."

While police officials did not make any statement regarding a child, East Side Feed reports that Mensah had a child with him when he was arrested Thursday evening near the East 57th Street Whole Foods, and that the child is now in police custody.

Hours earlier, Mills, an Upper West Side resident, was arrested in connection to an unprovoked shove of a 74-year-old grandfather onto the subway tracks at the 68th St. - Hunter College subway stop, police said.

According to the Daily News, the arrest was made in Union Square after a straphanger recognized him from an NYPD flier.

The victim, grandfather and parking garage attendant Trevor Crawford, was in critical condition as of Wednesday evening, the Daily News reported.

Crawford's life was saved by a quick-thinking, and acting, hero — a union electrician working the overnight shift at the station's massive modernization project.
