The incident occurred shortly before 10 p.m. near the reservoir, specifically around West 93rd Street and West Drive or East Drive near East 90th Street. Marroquin, a building maintenance worker, reported that she had stopped her bicycle to retrieve dropped AirPods when the three men emerged from behind bushes and struck her in the head.
