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.
Liberal crap? LOL. Guess again. What’s liberal is needless racial antagonism, regardless of where it comes from.
You are quite generous. I'm guessing it's similar to the "majority" of muslims that are "appalled" by the behavior of it's few bad apples.
“A woman who was brutally beaten by three men”
New York. Wouldn’t expect anything different. Just
normal New York activity. If I were from there I would
never admit it.
Not the same "broad-brushing". How many police reports are there of whites ambushing blacks? How many result in injuries? I'm not talking about 100 years ago, I'm talking about this year, right now. Another question: have you ever been assaulted for no apparent reason other than being another race than the perps?
No reason to.
No offense to her, and she got the wrong end here, but she was never going to be a model. Sorry
Hope and Change? As in, “I ‘hope’ dis bitch got sumthin’ to stil or I ‘change’ her looks.” Gee, I wonder what they’re listening to on those headphones (see still photos at link), no doubt a beautiful love ballad generously laced with the words “bitch” and “hoe.”
What does more harm than good is your brand of studied avoidance. As long as doctrinaire ideologues such as yourself continue to treat absurdities as plausible, the status quo will continue to boldly assert those absurdities.
That's false. As long as doctrinaire ideologues such as yourself continue to treat absurdities as plausible, the status quo will continue to boldly assert those absurdities.
Also false. You obviously don't know me at all. I'm as critical as anybody of the black community and their tendency to swallow the propaganda that race-baiters like Sharpton and Jackson constantly spew.
Unfortunately, the broad-brushing occurs on the conservative side of the spectrum as well.
"doctrinaire ideologues such as yourself?"
ROTFLMAO.
Sorry, that train left with your initial post. You wrote it, not me.
Before i read any longer.....Lemme guess.
Well that only took two comments.
Well, at least she’s still alive. And she will spread the word about walking alone at 0230 hours in that neighborhood. If you allow yourself to be a victim, you will be.
Thank you! For once I READ the article. ;)
Even if he is a putz in some ways, Rudy G. sure cleaned up the mess. For a while, anyway...
Assumes facts not in evidence.
It's New York, where you're FORCED to be a victim.
If New Yorkers want to "refuse to be victims", the first thing they need to change is their voting patterns.
I’ve walked Brooklyn @ 2:30 am in the pre-Giuliani days - but never, NEVER alone.
Now that it’s “DeBlasio time” (Abner Louima trivia time) I’m not sure I’d even do it in a group.
