A woman arrested in the Bronx over the weekend for assault was one of "America's Most Wanted," on the lam for 15 years over an attempted murder.



Police responded to a call of an assault in progress Saturday afternoon and found the woman attacking a 30-year-old man with a blunt object near the corner of Sheridan Ave. and E.169th St., police said.

They arrested the woman, who gave her name as Yesima Hernandez, and through fingerprinting identified her as Patty Carrion, 40, wanted for attempted murder and weapons charges, a police source said.

Carrion shot a 20-year-old man point-blank in the chest and continued firing as he tried to get away, hitting him four times, on Sept. 20, 1995, in Meriden, Conn., police say. The victim survived.
