A 24 year-old woman going for an early evening run in Prospect Park was attacked. Someone sneaked behind her, grabbed her and groped her genitals last Friday evening. She was running on the East Drive at 7:30PM. That's not too late, but still, with the evening getting darker sooner, it's better not to run during dusk in less trafficked areas. This adds to continued concerns about the police cutting their patrols in the wake of an increased number of attacks lately.
