Dermot Shea blasts NYC shelter system after brutal attack on Asian woman

NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea on Wednesday blamed the city’s homeless shelter system for playing a part in the brutal beatdown of an Asian woman — saying parolees don’t get the help they need to not reoffend.

The city’s top cop would not say whether Brandon Elliot — the 38-year-old brute who was caught-on-camera allegedly assaulting the 65-year-old victim on Monday — should have been let out on parole. Elliot had been sprung on lifetime parole in 2019 after serving about 17 years for murdering his mother in 2002.
