What If You’re The Raped Passenger?
Get off the train for assistance, where helpful MTA employees will be happy to telephone the proper authorities who will be summoned to take appropriate action:
A subway conductor saw the attack from the window of his train and a station agent inside a booth at the 21st Street stop on the G line witnessed the woman screaming as she was dragged down the stairs.
The conductor Harmodio Cruz and agent John Koort called the command center to summon cops, but did nothing else.
Justice Kevin Kerrigan ruled that the workers had taken “prompt and decisive action.”
“No justice has ever been done,” [the victim] said. “The rapist was never caught.”
The victim was inside a Queens-bound G train at 2:15 a.m. on June 7, 2005, when the only other person in the car began to touch her.
When she got off at the 21st Street station in Long Island City, she tried to get away. That’s when she was raped.
Cops arrived 10 minutes later, but the attacker had escaped.
Location Scout: 21st Street-Van Alst Station.
