BREAKING: Long Island woman, 26, arrested in 'senseless' Manhattan street shove death of beloved 87-year-old voice coach Barbara Gustern, police say
NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig delivered an impassioned plea last week as he sought the public's help"solving this disgusting, disgraceful offense committed against a vulnerable, elderly female who was doing nothing but walking down the streets of New York City.
Stephen Shanaghan, who owns Manhattan restaurant and theater Pangea, called Gustern a"sharp, clever seasoned New York person." Shanaghan said that Gustern had recently performed there, and that she had hoped to premiere a new cabaret show there. "They sing and they tell stories, it's very heartwarming. And they've done several different shows here," Shanaghan said.
Police are looking for a woman who allegedly shoved an 87-year-old woman from behind without warning in Manhattan last week, causing her to fall and hit her head and sending her to the hospital with traumatic brain damage, authorities and the woman's grandson say.
