Rapist May Be Targeting Women Outside The Box

2007_10_thebox.JPGIf you're a woman and are heading to exclusive Chrystie Street club The Box, be very careful! According to WNBC, the NYPD is saying there were two rape-and-kidnapping incidents that originated outside the venue.

On September 30, a woman says she was "standing in front of the club when she was grabbed from behind, put in a white sport utility vehicle and forced to drink an unknown liquid." After the attack, she was left in Queens. The second rape occurred this past Saturday: A woman trying to hail a cab got into a black sedan (she thought it was a livery cab). She was also driven over the East River and raped. Both victims had been at The Box earlier that night.

The Box closes at 4AM. We've left a message with the club - we'll let you know what they say.

ah, like the old days. wait, it's not.
this was a white guy who did this.

well he could be white or Hispanic. hard to tell from the drawing.

so sollie, they have video surveillance.
unless hispanic men like wearing dark shirts untucked with dark pants.

Guess this rapist is really thinking outside the ... no, it would be in bad taste to continue.

I don't think the old days are ever going to really come back. I just don't think the blight could get that bad again.

Then again, this is New York.

I hope they catch this guy.

See! Eliminating the guest comments doesn't eliminate race-baiting trolls. God bless Gothamist.
