Post reporter sucker-punched by stranger during NYC commute
I’ve spent 17 years reporting and writing about crime in the Big Apple, telling the stories of countless crime victims — and now, I’m one of them.
I got off the No. 2/3 subway at Chambers Street and decided to skip Starbucks and head right to “The Shack” — a cubbyhole inside police HQ in lower Manhattan where crime reporters work. It was the first time I had ever been hit like that. It took the wind out of me and left me bent over gasping for air. “That man just hit me!” I shouted while pointing at my assaulter, who was moving away quickly down the sidewalk. “He hit me!”“What are you doing? You homeless f–k!” he shouted at the man. “You just hit a lady!”
I walked the remaining three blocks to work and filed a police report, handing over my photos of the attacker. The detective ushered me into a small interview room in the 1st Precinct station on Ericsson Street in Tribeca and had a uniformed police officer come in to show me the photo array.
