UPPER DARBY, Pa. (AP) — A woman was raped by a stranger on a commuter train in suburban Philadelphia in the presence of other riders who a police official said “should have done something.”
Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt of the Upper Darby Police Department said officers were called to the 69th Street terminal around 10 p.m. Wednesday after the assault on the westbound train.
SEPTA police waiting at the next stop found the woman and arrested a man. The woman was taken to a hospital.
The entire episode was captured on surveillance video that showed other people on the train at the time, Bernhardt said.
“There was a lot of people, in my opinion, that should have intervened; somebody should have done something,” Bernhardt said. “It speaks to where we are in society; I mean, who would allow something like that to take place? So it’s troubling.”
Fiston Ngoy, 35, has been charged with rape, aggravated indecent assault and related counts, according to Delaware County court records. Bernhardt said he is known to both SEPTA and Upper Darby police.

“should have done something.”
What, and get sued and/or arrested?
I’m sure all of the other riders were recording the rape on their cell phones.
And there it is, another feral animal who was probably released out of the prison system or just ignored because of the pigment of his skin.
We are on our own.
They were waiting for the community to act, like they will when the police forces are disbanded... wait...
How’s Kyle Rittenhouse doing?
“he may have been homeless” like that excuses his behavior.
How many times have the bastards in “charge” blathered about “don’t take the law in your own hands”. I knew this crap would come back on this.
Ping.
It takes a village.
69TH Street Station area in UD is a s***hole.
There’s more signs not in English, than in English.
A quick search reveals why the woman was raped and why no one helped her. The drooling moronic nature of the subhuman savage is obvious even from the picture. The other passengers knew that there is a privileged class in the USA, and that it rules over them.
I do not expect to see this on the evening news, unless they can imply that a White man was the rapist.
It’s a well known paradox that the more bystanders witness a crime the less likely they are to do anything about because everyone keeps waiting for someone else to step in. Be the someone else.
Fugettaboutit.
Ignoring a rape? Who do those people think they are? The Loudoun school board?
School boards let it happen so it’s no surprise.
If the rapist is black I could be called a racist...
Maybe none of them were licensed social workers...
I consider myself a soft spoken gentleman in public. If not for all the “laws” on the books, and witnessing such an act first hand myself, I would have no problem walking up to said rapist, pulling him off his victim, and blowing his brains out the other side of his head.
This crap has to stop.
