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.
she should have screamed her head off when he was dragging her. Im sure someone would have reacted.
propjoe, you’re an idiot.

Gee, I wonder if it was a black man? Say it ain’t so. Pathetic.
I like both the ideas of motion lights and stoop troopers. Anything that individuals can do to keep their neighborhood safer is awesome in my opinion. While increased police patrols may have a great impact, I think it is up to the people to do our part to keep our areas safer for people who have to be out early/late. It would be nice to see people get involved as volunteer stoop troopers and send a message that we won’t allow our neighbors to be victimized.
i do hope the subhuman filth is caught and then surgically castrated.

Actually, What, we were able to directly contact the Council Member, the Captain of the 88th Precinct and the person who lives on that block and posted to the FG Kids list. We think this is the kind of thing most readers would want to be aware of.
every brownstone, or at least every other brownstone, needs a stoop trooper. basically they just sit on the stoop watching the street and live in one of the bedrooms of your brownstone, free room and board. sort of like a night watchman. or maybe just one on every street each time, but alternating by the day. i guess that’s the same as a community watch tho.

This is a horrendous crime and we hope the victim recovers well. We cannot relate more to this since we also use to go to the hospital @ 5:30AM and live in the area. The recent up-tick in overt crime in this area is very disturbing for our beloved Fort Greene. Yours truly adores this neighborhood and we in fact walk along St Felix and Lafayette everyday at around so 6AM so this is really worrisome…will pray for the victim and seriously consider driving and or packing but definitely NOT moving.
miss priss the motion activated lights idea is an excellent one.
