"A 59-year-old Bensonhurst woman was violently attacked inside her apartment late Friday, according to sources, after a neighbor allegedly smashed down her door and forced his way inside. The woman suffered multiple injuries and was taken to Lutheran Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition. Police have launched an active investigation into the incident, which residents say has left neighbors on edge."
"As reported by the New York Post, the assault happened around 11:15 p.m. Friday at an apartment near 15th Avenue and 71st Street. Law-enforcement sources told the outlet that the man allegedly entered the victim's bedroom, demanded sex, and "unleashed multiple blows." The woman called police and was transported to Lutheran Hospital in stable condition."
"NYPD detectives are handling the active investigation and have asked anyone with recordings, surveillance footage, or other tips to come forward. Similar home-invasion sexual-assault cases in Brooklyn are often prosecuted by the district attorney's Special Victims Bureau; in March, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office announced a 25-to-life sentence in a comparable home-invasion sexual-assault case, underscoring how severely these crimes are punished."
"Survivors can contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline for free, confidential support at 800-656-HOPE (4673). Anyone with information about the Bensonhurst case can contact NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS or message @NYPDTips, per local reporting and agency alerts; recent reports of similar southern Brooklyn alerts have added to community concern."
