NASSAU NY
A Greenport man was arrested Saturday afternoon after allegedly assaulting a security guard at the Five Towns Shopping Center in North Woodmere. According to Nassau County detectives, around 3 p.m., Steven Pirrera, 36, of Greenport, approached a male victim, 74, who was working as a security guard in a security guard vehicle in the parking lot of Five Towns Shopping Center, and attempted to open one of the car's doors. Pirrera, who had lost keys hours earlier, was upset that the security guard wasn't able to find his keys. The victim, not knowing why the defendant would try to open his car door, drove a short distance away.
Pirrera approached the victim a second time, forcibly removed him from the car, threw him to the pavement and punched him several times on the head and face, police said. The victim then called police. According to police, a Nassau County police ambulance transported the victim, who suffered pain throughout his body and sustained other injuries and a laceration above his eye requiring sutures, to a local hospital for treatment. He is listed as fair condition.
Pirrera is being charged with assault in the second degree and was arraigned on Sunday in First District Court in Hempstead.
