Large Group Throws Pumpkin at Woman in Bizarre Attack: NYPD

A group of people assaulted a woman, including with a large pumpkin, during an unprovoked attack in Brooklyn the weekend before Halloween, police said.

The group of 13 men and women approached a 21-year-old woman last Saturday at State Street and Henry Street in Brooklyn Heights and threw a liquid in her face, according to police. 

Then they allegedly put a box on her head and threw a large pumpkin at her. Police said the gourd struck her back. 

She was not seriously injured and was not taken to a hospital. 

Police released surveillance video of the suspects on Saturday. 

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
