Devil son who pushed 64-year-old mom out of third-story window learns fate after she testifies against him
A drug-addled monster who put a knife to his 64-year-old mom’s throat and shoved her out of a third-story Queens window could spent 25 years behind bars after being convicted of attempted murder.George Tsintzelis, 37, was found guilty by a jury Friday in the Nov.15, 2024, near-fatal attack on Paraskevi Tsintzelis during a dispute about money, Queens prosecutors announced Monday.
“Paraskevi Tsintzelis was seriously injured but fortunately survived the fall and then made the difficult decision to testify against her son at trial,” Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said.“The defendant pulled a knife on his mother before pushing her out of a third-floor window,” Katz said.
“This was a completely senseless act of violence that has torn a family apart.”The battered mom told The Post from her hospital bed last year that her troubled son had terrorized her for years, subjecting her to beatings and verbal assaults in a quest for drug money.Their relationship came to a shocking climax on the day of the attack.
“He had knives in his hand,” Paraskevi Tsintzelis said last year.“He said, ‘Don’t yel or I am gonna stab you.’ He was breaking things, picture frames with my daughter.
He wouldn’t leave.“He was smoking drugs in the house and blowing it in my face.I was afraid of him,” she said.
“Wherever you put the devil, it’s still the devil.I’m sorry for my words.”That’s when the brute, who beat his mom with her own cane, took her to the window ledge.“He pushed me hard with both hands,” she recalled.
“I don’t know what happened after that.I don’t remember.
When I woke up I was in the hospital.”Paraskevi Tsintzelis miraculously survived despite suffering severe injuries — bleeding of the brain, a broken left shoulder, a broken arm and leg, internal bleeding and multiple facial fractures.Queens Supreme Court Justice Peter Vallone, who presided over the trial, is scheduled to sentence George Tsintzelis on Jan.
