Report Of Assault On Young Woman On 2nd Place Near Clinton Street

You may have seen the fliers posted along the neighborhood warning of an attempted rape on 2nd Place near Clinton Street. According to the flier, the incidence occurred at approximately 3:30 Am on Sunday, May 30th. The victim, a young woman was assaulted by a 5.5 - 5.7 man in his early 20's, who had first been spotted walking from Clinton and 3rd Place.

The flier also mentions that this may have been a second incident involving the same man.

I emailed the 76th Precinct to get the facts and received the following report by Captain Ken Corey. Below is his reply:

Thanks for reaching out on this. The incident was reported as an

assault. The victim was walking her dog at around 2:30 am when the

perpetrator approached, he pushed her to the ground and grabbed at her

shirt. She screamed and he fled. The incident is under investigation

by our Detective Squad, and anyone with information is asked to call

Det. Jurewicz at 718-834-3221.

The poster makes mention of a second incident involving the same

perpetrator. We have no other incidents reported that are even

remotely similar, or have anyone with a similar description. I don't

know where that information came from, but if it is factual, we'd like

to know about it.

I would like to thank the captain for taking the time to get back to me.

Please, everyone, be careful. Though this is a very safe neighborhood, we need to be aware that incidents do occur. It may be more prudent for people to pair up when walking a dog in the early morning hours.
