Yesterday morning shortly before 6 a.m a woman on her way to work at Brooklyn Hospital was sexually attacked on St. Felix Street between Fulton and Dekalb Avenues. Here’s what was posted on the Fort Greene Kids list by someone who spoke to police on the scene:
A young female doctor was assaulted, raped and robbed at around 5:45am on her way to work at Brooklyn Hospital. The attack occurred on St Felix Street between Fulton & Dekalb. Supposedly, the attacker dragged her down a stoop and hid behind some garbage cans. As far as I know, he got away. This was a very bold sexual assault – outdoors in freezing weather in the middle of a residential block on a garbage pick up morning and around the time the NY Times delivery guy comes by.
We were able to confirm that as of last night the police had no one in custody. City Councilmember Letitia James will be holding a press conference today at 3 p.m. at the corner of Fulton and St. Felix to call for more police presence in the area and to raise awareness about safety measures.
FYI, statistically speaking most rapes happen in the morning, between 5 am and 9 am.
So if you are a woman, be particularly careful around these times.
Horrific….why, why, why!
I hate being reminded that crime happens!
Why can’t we live in Utopia.
Be Safe.
I am personally thankful to Brownstoner for posting this information. I live across the street from where the incident happened and after talking to cops at the scene and calling the precinct directly, I was not able to get any information. I even asked if I should be concerned for my own personal safety as I didn’t know if it was a domestic incident in someone’s home or a random attack. I was just smugly told I’d see it in the news. This is a reminder to everyone that violent crime can happen anywhere at anytime and we need to watch out for ourelves and each other. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this…
Rape is so fucked up – this perp sounds like a total psychopath. I hope the victim can move on with her life and not let this incident ruin her life.
Propjoe you are truly insensitive and dumb….
My prayers go out to the victim and to be honest
there should be more cops on patrol, Fort Greene
is just like any other neighborhood even with expensive
properties and tony brownstones crime can happen anywhere at anytime. I just hope they find this piece of shit and throw the book at him
propjoe – Please keep yours wedged between your second and third ribs.
Everyone should keep a boxcutter or a large knife on them. I always have one in case some Obama lovin’ brotha decides to rob this brotha. I’ll slice those dudes up.
don’t forget the laptop-stealing spree in PS
MM disagree strongly. such stories should serve as reminders of risk , since we get into our routines and let our guard down. Your reasoning for why one is worth reporting and the other not, if there is any, is really perplexing. Report on sexual assault but not getting jumped by thugs and beaten for money? Gender bias?
Keep on reporting Mr.B.
