Police tonight are holding six males, ranging in age from 16 to 52, all charged in the assault of a young woman they dragged out of a Chinese take-out in West Philadelphia, and then gang-raped inside a nearby apartment.
The attack ended only after people heard the woman's screams and called 911. Police arrested all six at the scene, an apartment across from Li Lai Chinese restaurant at 5609 Walnut St.
Police said the attack happened late Thursday night.
The 24-year-old victim was inside Li Lai Chinese about 10:45 p.m. when the group - who had watched her walk into the restaurant - entered and quickly set upon her, according to Philadelphia police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore.
They began to fondle her, and grabbed her and dragged her into a first-floor apartment across the street, Vanore said.
Then they took turns raping her, the victim told police.
A neighbor who heard the woman's screams called 911, Vanore said.
In minutes, officers were at the apartment and arrested all six, Vanore said.
Charged with rape, aggravated assault and other counts were a 16-year-old boy whose name was not released; Nicholas Glenn, 18; Nyair Washington, 19; Timothy Manley, 22; Teddy Mack, 22; and Michael Garrison, 52, Vanore said. All were still in custody last night.
The woman was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where she was treated and released.
Wow, someone really called the police instead of ignoring the screams. In Philly no less.
Give em a fair trail and if found guilty castrate em.
This should be a hanging offense!
“5609 Walnut St.”
A lot of animals in that part of town...
This sounds more like it was done in Sierra Leone, not the USA. God help us.
There was a time I think, when cockroaches were afraid to come out of the woodwork. That was before we became enlightened.
BW, was this group BLACK?
That would probably be considered racist.

If she was in the restaurant, why didn't someone in there call the police? They see someone dragged out and it takes neighbors hearing screams to get someone to call the police?
Can you imagine being the poor sap Google paid to drive through some of these neighborhoods with that camera on your roof?
I’m sure she was asking for it

Freaking breasts should put down like rabid dogs
“Freaking breasts should put down like rabid dogs”
Except, it’s always tragic when a dog has to be put down.
Putting down breasts is not nice.
No doubt
