After reading some of these comments, I’m not surprised that so many websites are doing away with this feature. I like reading reader’s contributions but they so often go off the deep end or are written so poorly that the message gets overshadowed by the messenger’s inability to communicate effectively.
Then again, what happened to this woman is disturbing; how it gets reduced to “a man slams her against a wall” is puzzling. He invaded her home and physically attacked her.
Don’t understand how you can blame the victim. With the turnover in these apt buildings it’s very hard to know who lives there and who doesn’t. You can’t slam the door in everyone’s face all the time either ..of course we all have to try to be alert and know our surroundings, but until it happens to you, then you have no clue how fast these things can happen and someone can sneak up on you. Have a little sympathy for the victim here..what did she do wrong??? Come home???
Christine- you come on. NOBODY IS BLAMING THE VICTIM. Play the video again. This woman never looks up back or around. Did she even hear this guy hit through the first door to catch the second door into the building lobby she never closed. That’s why many buildings post signs stating make sure the door closes behind you. This woman was a prime target, oblivious. If she doesn’t know her mistakes she will be a target again. Do you not believe this perp didn’t size her up as a sitting duck? He saw she was in her own wiorld. Grow up Christine, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Hope it happens to you and people say the same thing
Anonymous- it almost has happened to me but I am not afraid to ask someone where they are going and I always make sure the door closes behind me and I just don’t just let strangers into the building even when they knock on glass while I’m getting the mail. Some of us believe in preventing issues when we can and controlling what we can unlike people like you who cry and do nothing and honestly believe others should do nothing in safe guarding their own safety.
@Christine Are you for real? Nobody is “blaming the victim” here. This is a terrible thing to happen to someone, this woman was assaulted by a creep who intended even more. Just because someone points out someones mistakes in a situation like this one does not mean they are “blaming the victim”. In your zest to be the compassionate one on this comment stream,, you miss the realty of this persons mistakes, or some may say “negligence” putting others in the building at risk. By not closing the door behind her this perp could have gone to an unlocked apartment or up to hide by the roof and push his way into an unsuspecting persons apartment. It happens more than you think.
There’s also a video on NY1 that showed he was in Met Food on 44th street right before this. He grabbed a woman under her coat while she was shopping. Sick perv!
It appears the heels gave her leverage. Good for her. Hopefully this guy is caught real soon.
Good for her. She was able to fend off this piece of garbage.
More self defense classes should be offered by the local gov to equip all women to fight back just like this courageous woman did.
He need to be caught ASAP
He should get the same punishment like Saudi Arabia does
If this was Saudi Arabia, SHE would get in trouble and he would probably walk free. The Saudis are the biggest threat to US safety but they have oil so that’s the only reason USA is their friend.
SHE would probably get in trouble and he would probably walk free in that country.
That will teach her to take a look behind her next time to see who she is holding the door for and letting in the building.
Blame the victim! You creep.
Anonymous,- You’re the creep who doesn’t empower people not to be a victim. Thank you long timer for some sound advice on not to becoming a victim. If more people just paid attention there would be a lot less “victimization” going on and a lot less victims. The person posting under anonymous would tell you differently and try and convince you there is nothing a person could do from being a victim or a target.
what if she was raped Angela?
What would you say then?
Yasss- Whatt if what if I?!?! The police give out pointers on how not to become a rape victim, are they “blaming the victim”? Interesting point about this woman being raped. She would have been the one who let her own rapist into the building. How do you think she would have felt with that revelation? What if this guy didn’t go for her but instead hid by the roof and waited for a woman or child to open an apartment door and pushed them inside and shut the door?
@anonymous- You’re way off base. The perp is looking for opportunity. If the woman closed the door he would have been denied the opportunity. The only bad thing is the perp moves on until he finds an opportunity. This guy must be caught somebody knows him there is a good clear image of him. When I was growing up in Sunnyside, in a building very similar to this one people were not afraid to ask people where they were going, today people are afraid to engage others and stay in their own little worlds.
We should post photos of all the tenants in the lobby.
Don’t get mad at Long Timer. He wasn’t loved by his mom.
Looks like the little monster slipped by ICE….When he is caught JVB will fight to keep him here!!!
he is all for the illegals which is true all of our tax dollars at work –
