A Passyunk Square man is in police custody after supposedly committing aggravated assault in Queen Village.
As first reported in the April 14 South Philly Review as “Smacked inside Paddy Whacks,” surveillance video captured the image of a male at 11:35 p.m. Feb. 27 as he struck a fellow patron within the location, 150 South St. He continued to beat the complainant until employees intervened, fleeing the establishment in an unknown direction. Further inspection of the footage led authorities to deem Alfredo Nicotra, of the 1400 block of South Eighth Street, as the perpetrator. They arrested the 21-year-old on May 2 and charged him with simple and aggravated assault, possession of an instrument of crime, and recklessly endangering another person. He posted his $100,000 bail and awaits a May 17 preliminary hearing.
