Caught On Camera: Shocking Subway Attack Rocks Brooklyn Amidst Soaring Crime Rates

A young woman was brutally attacked on a subway platform in Brooklyn on Sunday amid a surge in crime across New York City.

According to the New York Post, the incident occurred just before midnight at the Clinton-Washington Avenues station. Video footage on the Post's website shows a man speaking with a couple before walking in the opposite direction towards the victim.

He then picks up his pace and hits her in the eye when he comes close to her, causing her to fall to the floor. According to the Daily Mail, the suspect has not yet been arrested, which identified the victim as Hannah Marie McAllister.

In a TikTok post on Friday, McAllister, who was wearing a bandage under her eye, said two of her videos were removed by the platform for "graphic content violations." She added, "Apparently, trying to use your voice and make people aware is a violation. Just wanted to be aware that I am not removing them, TikTok is removing them."

Others reportedly rushed over to help the victim when the assault occurred, and she is hoping law enforcement will be able to find the suspect. The alleged attacker fled the station, according to the Post. The young victim did not receive medical treatment following the incident.

This incident is part of a more significant trend of rising crime in New York City. Breitbart News reported in April that felony assaults are rising across the city. While murders, rapes, and grand larcenies dropped in January compared to the same time in 2022, felony assaults surged by 15 percent, with more than 2,050 arrests made across New York City.

Similarly, in February, felony assaults jumped five percent compared to February 2022, even as murders, rapes, robberies, burglaries, and grand larcenies ticked down.

In May, a man was left with a massive gash on his face after he intervened during a reported altercation that erupted on a Brooklyn train. An ex-convict was later accused in the case. As crime continues to rise in New York City, residents are increasingly concerned about their safety and the effectiveness of law enforcement in addressing the issue.
