Blue city repeat offender accused of metal pipe rampage just days after release

A New York City man has found himself back in custody following allegations of attacking three individuals with a metal pipe, just a week after being released from jail for a different assault incident.

The suspect, 23-year-old Jeremiah White, is accused of confronting a 46-year-old woman at about 5:20 a.m. on a Bronx street corner, shouting “you hit my mom” before repeatedly hitting her in the face, head, and arms with a metal pipe, according to the New York Post.

This victim, identified as Virginia Alvarez, was reportedly on her way to her job as a nurse at BronxCare Health when the assault took place, News 12 reports. She was taken to a hospital where she is currently in stable condition.

In a separate incident on October 15, 2025, White is alleged to have attacked a 15-year-old girl on Louis Nine Boulevard in Crotona Park East, Bronx. He reportedly hit her in the head with a metal pipe after warning her to “watch out.” (Google Maps)

From her hospital bed, Alvarez recounted the ordeal to News 12, saying, “He just kept punching me and punching me and punching me and punching me,” emphasizing that the assailant was relentless.

Approximately two hours later, White allegedly targeted the 15-year-old, striking her in the back of the head with the metal pipe. The teenager was transported to a hospital and is reported to be in stable condition.

At 9:55 a.m., White allegedly attacked a 54-year-old woman outside her apartment, punching her in the face with a closed fist before he was arrested less than an hour later, according to The Post.

White is charged with three counts of assault, according to the NYPD. 

The alleged attacks are not White’s first run-in with authorities – he has four prior arrests, The Post reported.

Most recently, White was arrested on Oct. 7 – just one week earlier – for allegedly punching a 17-year-old girl in the face at a subway station one month prior, according to The Post.  White was subsequently charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment, according to court records obtained by Fox News Digital.
