Man Helps Fallen Woman, Then Stalks And Sexually Assaults Her in Stairwell
LatestLast Sunday, a woman fell as she exited a Brooklyn subway, and was helped up by a man. That man then stalked her for seven blocks and then sexually assaulted her in the stairwell of her apartment building.
According to NBC New York, the 38 year-old woman—currently unidentified—did not know the man who assisted her. But he trailed her as she departed the 25th Street R train station around 11:30 p.m. and, after walking home, entered her apartment building near Fourth Avenue. The assailant seized the woman between the first and second floors and, after fighting back, she fell on the stairs. Her attacker took that opportunity to sexually assault her, and then quickly departed.
