Oct 26, 2022 - Last night at approximately 6:25 PM, members of the Yonkers Police Department responded to the area of Yonkers Avenue at Ridgewood Avenue on a report of street fight. Upon arrival officers observed two men assaulting one; both suspects were placed under arrest and the victim was transported to a local area trauma center.
Investigation yielded that several men were patronizing a local bar and engaged in a dispute outside; that dispute escalated to physical violence. It is alleged that the victim was punched and kicked multiple times, including being kicked in the head while on the ground. The men appear to be known to each other and possibly related.
Charged with felony assault is Jonathan TEELIN, a 26-year-old resident of Mount Kisco; and his brother Felix TEELIN, a 22-year-old resident of Hastings-On-Hudson. Both men are expected to be arraigned later today. The victim, a 26-year-old resident of Yonkers, suffered non-life threatening injuries and is expected to recover.
The Yonkers Police administration is also conducting an internal inquiry into the initial police response.
