Model Speaks Out(Woman brutally beaten by three men on a Crown Heights captured on Video)
gothamist ^ | Oct 21, 2014 | John Del Signore

A woman who was brutally beaten by three men on a Crown Heights sidewalk says the attack, which left her with a broken nose and facial lacerations, will not stop her from pursuing her modeling career. Gwendolyn Reyes, 21, was jumped by three muggers as she walked on Franklin Avenue between Prospect Place and St. Mark's Avenue at approximately 2:30 a.m. on October 2nd. Yesterday the NYPD released security camera video of the assault and robbery:

Reyes, an aspiring model, says she found it "difficult to watch" the video, for obvious reasons. "They just rushed me, so the first thing I thought [was] 'Is this really happening?'" she tells CBS 2. "I just remember the whole attack, and them leaving me, I remember them just dragging me, and then I started yelling for someone to help me. And then that’s when I realized blood was coming from my face, but I didn’t know where from my face."

Reyes was taken to Methodist Hospital in stable condition with a broken nose and lacerations to her face. (Judging by her appearance on CBS 2 last night, she seems to have recovered remarkably.)

Reyes's assailants ran away with her cell phone and purse. No arrests have been made, but police released these images of the suspects.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

OK...Time to play the game again...Anytime I read a title that involves crime, muggings, robbery, murder, before I read one more word I always play this guessing game. So far I am batting 100% and I’ve been doing this all year.

Alex I will take “What race they are for $100”

“The opposite of white”

“What is black?”

OK, now let me read the rest of this article......

“You are correct!”

But at least she was safe from ‘gun violence’ in the workers’ paradise of DeBlasiopolis ...

They were tossing her around like a limp rag doll, not a human being. Her face looks pretty messed up to me. They obviously had no problem with beating a young girl. Really, people still wonder why we cross to the other side of the street?

"Yes...they are."


Classic preemptive answer. It is just as I had predicted. LOL.
I typically read articles on street crime and "bet" if author will mention race of perps.

Few deserve a beat down, but I hope this little dumb@ss figured out she should NOT be out at 2:30am, ALONE, on the streets of Gotham. Yeesh!

Way back in the early 1970s when I was at Portland State University and lived on campus, one of the rules I lived by was not to be outside after 7pm.

I realize people hold jobs, but really? How much is your safety and life worth, hmm+?

Perhaps she should have been wearing a burka and been escorted by a male relative?

There are plenty of muggers from all races.

Race-baiting serves no constructive purpose, regardless of which side of the spectrum it comes from.

If we’re racists for noticing that, then what are the media for NOT noticing that?

Nonsense. Identifying the skin color of the perp serves an important public interest to those not yet mugged and who at least may be in those areas. It also points out over time that a certain segment of society my be more likely to commit the crimes than another group.
