A Philadelphia man was convicted Monday of a brutal beating and attempted carjacking of a female Uber driver last year near La Salle University.
The pair attempted to steal the woman's car, but they were unable to flee due to traffic. They evaded police for less than a day before being brought into custody.
Prosecutors said a La Salle student who witnessed the beating and called police provided "crucial testimony" in Young's trial. "This case is an excellent example of why witness cooperation is so important," District Attorney Larry Krasner said. "We're able to achieve justice when the public steps up and assists law enforcement in solving crimes."
Young is due back in a Philadelphia court for sentencing in December. Quazzani's trial is slated to start in 2024.
