A father and daughter were out for a walk on Thursday when they were approached and held at gunpoint by five men. The men demanded that the father leave and he did to go find police for help. The 18 year old woman was raped in a Brownsville playground. The five men forcefully removed the young woman’s pants and began raping her at gunpoint. When the girls father arrived with police the suspects fled the scene but they were captured on a surveillance camera at Brooklyn bodega. The victim was taken to the Kings County Hospital and is in stable condition.
The gunman is described as a tall black male about 20-30 years old and wore a red jacket and black pants, police sources said. NYC Park advocate Geoffrey Croft says there were more than 500 violent crimes in city parks last year and yet there are no nighttime patrols. “The city needs to dramatically step up law enforcement patrols in the parks,” Croft said.
Neighbors reacted with anger about the incident.
This is a very sad unfortunate situation and it’s actually disgusting that five men would do this. Comment below and let us know what you think.

as a mother of a 12 year old girl living in Bed – Stuy Brooklyn we fear this happening to our daughters a simlar situation took place recently a young girl was raped in our area and we need to keep our children safe these young men need to be brought to justice or handle by street justices what in god name makes a man think it is okay to harm a child or a young woman and leave a father or a mother helpless when it comes to preventing this happening to their baby this is sick and not acceptable by any means
I would of killed them with their own gun up all their asses rapped out we don’t do that to people let alone e ours
Sad, me having a daughter i can’t believe the father left her. I would’ve died!
The father had no choice but to leave. Otherwise, he might have ended up being murdered in front of his daughter and she would have still been raped. It was a no-win situation. At least this way, he lived and was able to run for help. I can’t even begin to imagine the pain both the father and daughter are going through. Him because he knows his daughter was raped by 5 men and her because she knows he had to leave her behind with those men to be raped. I can only hope the father can live with being forced to leave and the daughter can accept he had no choice and not blame him. As for the men, I hope they all receive life without parole. And there’s a friendly welcome committee waiting for them all when they get to prison. They deserve it.
