Rape After Partying In Chelsea

Over the Halloween weekend, a 29 year-old New Yorker was kidnapped and raped after leaving a party at Crobar on early Sunday morning. She had left the party at around 6AM, walking near West 28th Street and Ninth Avenue to get a cab. A man put a bag over her head, threatened her with a knife, raped her in his car, and left her naked in an alley in Elizabeth, New Jersey. She was able to get help and call the police at a nearby house. Police believe that the attacker was waiting for people to leave parties in the area. Partygoers told the Post that with some many people celebrating and increased police presence in the area, they felt safe.
