Surveillance video shows that two rookie police officers were not patrolling a Brooklyn housing complex where a 30-year-old woman was raped in a stairwell last week. The two officers were disciplined for lying about doing their jobs, when in fact they were not. The victim of the assault was trailed from the subway by a man she recognized from the neighborhood and he followed her into her building's elevator. After producing a knife as she stepped off the elevator, he dragged the woman into a stairwell and threatened to kill her if she resisted or didn't stop screaming. He then raped her on a stairwell landing.
