State Police search for violent suspect in Woodbury

Posted

The New York State Police and local police agencies are currently searching in the Woodbury area for a suspect wanted for several violent felony crimes out of New York City.

 

The suspect’s name is believed to be Ali Ali, and he is armed and dangerous. Members of the public are advised that if they spot Ali, contact 911 immediately. Do not attempt to approach or engage him.

 

Ali Ali is described as a medium-skinned Indian male, approximately 5'5" tall, weighing approximately 180lbs. At the time of his last sighting, he was wearing a black shirt, black pants, and no shoes.   

 

On September 18, 2024, Troopers from State Police Troop T attempted to stop a stolen vehicle, which then crashed and caught fire at NYS Thruway milepost 49, north of Exit 16. Ali, who was driving the vehicle, ran from the scene into a wooded area. Multiple police agencies are now involved in the search.

 

New York State Police are asking residents who live in the area to review recordings from the doorbell or other outdoor security cameras. If someone matching the suspect’s description is caught on video, please contact State Police Troop F immediately at 845-344-5300.
