SINGLE SOURCE
While one web search result explicitly mentions a woman wanted for shoving a 7-year-old special needs boy to the ground in NYC, the other search results discuss entirely different incidents (e-bike pushings, shootings, etc.). There is only one specific source corroborating this particular incident.

“The woman then heartlessly pushed the boy, who has special needs, to the ground — causing him to sustain a laceration to his face”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that the boy sustained a laceration to his face is mentioned in a search result about a 13-year-old boy on an e-bike in Bay Ridge, not the 7-year-old in Flushing. Only the single source for the Flushing incident (from claim 1) supports the general event, but the specific injury detail in the evidence provided is linked to a different case.
