Creep caught on video tackling woman and groping her in broad daylight in Brooklyn



Disturbing surveillance footage from Brooklyn, New York, shows an attacker pounce on a woman from behind and grope her in broad daylight.

What happened?

Police said the victim, a 35-year-old woman who wishes to remain anonymous, was walking south on Morgan Avenue in Williamsburg at around 8 p.m. ET Monday when she noticed a stranger following her, the New York Post reported.

The woman turned west on Stagg Street but the suspect still followed her. He then sped up and jumped on her from behind, tackling her to the ground.

Based on the video, it appears the man pins the woman to the ground and reaches inside her clothing to forcibly touch her before running off.

Video of the attack was posted to Twitter by the New York City Police Department Crime Stoppers' account on Thursday.

The Crime Stoppers post indicates that the suspect assaulted the woman by "grabbing her buttocks."

What else?

WABC-TV noted that the woman had even let the attacker pass at one point while walking on Morgan Avenue. But when she turned onto Stagg Street, the assailant waited and got behind her again.

The outlet added that NYPD Special Victims Unit detectives are investigating the crime.

The woman reportedly did not sustain any significant injuries as a result of the attack and refused medical treatment.

Police reported that the suspect is about 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighs 165 pounds. He has a medium skin complexion, medium build, and black hair.

They are asking the public for help identifying and locating the attacker. He was last seen wearing a black shirt and camouflage pants.

Anything else?

The attack comes as New York City continues to grapple with an uptick in random acts of violence, WABC-TV reported.

Now women in the area are reportedly on high alert as they walk around Williamsburg, a neighborhood typically thought of as safe.

"You're going to have to be looking back and looking around," one female resident told the news outlet. "If you see that somebody's following, you either have to walk faster or take another road."

Several women are reportedly taking martial arts self-defense classes to give themselves a fighting chance against an attacker.

Attacker punches, stomps on victim’s head in grisly Brooklyn attack — and it was all caught on video



A man is in serious condition after a suspect punched him, knocked him down, and stomped on his head during an attack in Brooklyn.

What are the details?

A report from WABC-TV reveals that the unnamed 49-year-old man was walking down Tapscott Street in Brownsville over the weekend when the suspect approached him, began pummeling him, and stomped on his head once he had fallen to the ground.

The incident was captured on surveillance video, but the suspect — who remains at large at the time of this reporting — was able to flee on foot from the scene.

What else?

Earlier that week, a suspect hit a Quality Inn employee over the head with a hammer in Brownsville.

The attack took place in the lobby of the hotel.

Surveillance footage captured the moment when a male suspect — who also remains at large at this time — began yelling at the victim and other hotel employees. The suspect then spit in the worker's face at least three times before picking up a hammer and striking him over the head with it.

The victim — later identified by the New York Daily News as 32-year-old Sumit Ahluwalia — was wearing a turban at the time and said he believed that the head covering protected him from serious injury. The victim added that the suspect also made comments about the turban just moments before the attack.

"It was about 8 a.m.," Ahluwalia said, according to the outlet. "A black guy came into the lobby of the hotel and started shouting. The front desk lady asked him, 'Sir, do you need help?'"

At that point, Ahluwalia recalled, the suspect began running toward him and put his hand in his pocket as if to pull something out.

Ahluwalia said he feared it was a gun and said he pleaded with the man.

"What happened?" he recalled asking. "You're my brother."

Ahluwalia said that the suspect fired back, "You're not the same skin," and proceeded to hit him on the head with the hammer that he'd pulled from his pocket.

Upon fleeing, Ahluwalia recalled, the suspect shouted "I don't like you" and left the scene.

Authorities are investigating the attack as a possible hate crime.

“I didn't do anything… I don't deserve this," Ahluwalia lamented. “I'm a hardworking guy, wake up in the morning 6 a.m. and go home at 7 p.m."
