Horrible attack. Too bad she wasn't CCWing. Then she could have shot the SOB.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Gov. Kathy Hochul doesn’t understand why the victim is so upset?

[Kaiser8408a]

Idiots like Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg with their security force will ignore this horrible crime.

[Carl Vehse]

"The 43-year-old woman was running around 5:30 a.m."

In New York?!

Without military tank support?!?

[FamiliarFace]

So sad.

[hoosierham]

Attacked from behind and choked the odds of effective use of the gun are questionable.

Situation awareness and good judgement in where and when it’s safe are needed.

[DarrellZero]

No description of the suspect’s skin color. Wonder why.

[PGR88]

Cops later took a 29-year-old homeless man into custody in connection with the incident after he used the victim’s credit card at a Target in Midtown.

Any sympathy I had for homeless in general dried up long ago.

Its time for CCC style vagrancy camps. Were you arrested and found guilty of vagrancy? You get to spend 6-12 months living in a barracks, chopping trees or digging ditches for the state.

I don't understand women in these times going anywhere without some form of protection.

I used to try to get my last girlfriend to at least strap on a small taser to her thigh under her skirt.

That way even if she is grabbed from behind and has her arms pinned she could reach it and jam it in his thigh and drop him.

Sneak attacks with or without a gun are hard to defend. At least run without headphones and try to be alert. If a attacker already has their hands on ya, that defeats much of the reason for a distance weapon. Basic grappling and firearm training is a must for all.

[imabadboy99]

more black on white crime?

[1Old Pro]

New York, escape if you can.

[G Larry]

How many citizens have given up their right to self-defense because they fear the tyrant more than the criminal?

[CodeJockey]

The suspect was last seen wearing black pants and a burgundy sweater emblazoned with the letters “UNH” in white, law-enforcement sources said.

He had on a yellow, beanie-type hat with a black rim and was carrying a blue jacket in a black bag in the basket of the Citi Bike, the sources said.

Amazing all that detail was available but the physical description of the perp was too difficult to determine?

[Revolutionary]

Stomp the instep and hit him in the balls.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Headline makes it look like that rapist was out on his morning jog.

[antidemoncrat]

“The 43-year-old woman was raped by a total stranger”

Aren’t most rapist total strangers? Could this be the reason many women are buying guns these days?

[Midwesterner53]

I can provide a general description of the bad guy........

[doorgunner69]

NYC, just another day in a liberal sewer.

[RedMonqey]

In this case the sob would then have a gun. He caught her from behind, by surprise.

[ridesthemiles]

5:30 AM at this time of year is 90+ minutes BEFORE SUNRISE.

WHY would she do this???
