One Suspect Shot, Second at Large in Robbery and Assault

A man accused of robbery and sexual assault remains hospitalized tonight
while police look for his accomplice. A man and a woman were sitting in
their car on Stuyvesant Street last night when police say Eric
Easterling and another man robbed them at gunpoint and then sexually
assaulted the woman.

She somehow grabbed Easterling's gun and began firing it, hitting him in
the neck.

Both attackers ran off to Adel Street, where they knocked on doors
asking for help.

Neighbors called police and an ambulance took Easterling to the
hospital.

Police are charging him with armed robbery and charges related to the
sexual assault.

His partner is still on the run.
