Philadelphia police seek 22-year-old suspect linked to California and Nevada after assault
Police are searching for Zymire Hughes, 22, who chased and injured a woman in downtown Philadelphia and is believed to have connections to the West Coast.
Philadelphia police said a 22-year-old man identified as Zymire Hughes chased a 40-year-old woman near City Hall early on Aug. 12, causing her to fall and sustain injuries. Hughes allegedly made threatening remarks while keeping his hand concealed behind his back before fleeing to a City Center rail station. A warrant has been issued for his arrest, and authorities believe he may have left Pennsylvania, with ties to California and Nevada. > "He has a tendency to travel back and forth to the West Coast, California, the L.A. area, but also Las Vegas ... for employment reasons," Philadelphia Police Capt. Jason Smith told a local news outlet. The department is coordinating with U.S. Marshals to locate Hughes.
