Social Bar Beating: Woman Left With Broken Eye Socket, Other Injuries After Rejecting Man's Advances

A stranger followed a woman into a New York City bar restroom after she rejected his advances early Thursday, savagely beat her in a toilet stall and perhaps even sexually assaulted her, police said.

The attack occurred around 2 a.m. at Social, a three-story bar and lounge on Eighth Avenue in midtown Manhattan where the victim, a nurse, had gone with a friend, authorities said.

The woman told police that she had rebuffed attempts by an unidentified man to dance with her, said police spokesman Paul Browne. When she went to the women's restroom on the second floor, he followed her and burst into a stall.

The man beat the victim until she was unconscious. Her friend later found in her in the stall and called 911, believing she might have fallen.

The woman was hospitalized with a broken eye socket, broken jaw and other injuries. When she regained consciousness, she told hospital workers she had been attacked.

Browne said investigators think she might also have been sexually assaulted. The Associated Press generally doesn't name potential victims of sexual assault.

Police were gathering security videotape and interviewing bar employees to try to identify the assailant. There was no immediate response to a phone message left at the bar.

Heck if this woman had a husband and had stayed at home, this would not have happened in the first place.

It is ultimately the victims fault after all.

The burqa is only for when the menfolk decide to let the little lady out of her cage.

after arrest. Getting your eye socket broken is a bitch. poor thing.

Every hour you're at a bar after 11 pm you're more likely to be the victim of a violent crime. that does not excuse the criminals at all, its just telling people how to steer clear of the problem.

Sometimes, you have to think a little beyond the bumper sticker.

Nothing excuses a guy attacking or raping a woman, but it is hardly blaming the victim to say what can be done to avoid danger.

She deserved it. What was she thinking?

:eyes:

A good, long view of this miscreant, and may he be found quickly and properly disposed of in prison for a very, very long time.

...with his credit/debit card.

Even if she insults you - and insults you bad - that just means you are targetting the wrong women, saying the wrong things or just plain out too drunk

Go home, burn one, please try again...

to be found by one of them. I hope they find him.

That's psychotic behavior.

Because I knew 'her'

And she was fun - and given the right environment, her kind can FLOURISH

I can't imagine why :sarcasm:


This is why people say a woman has that extra sense that men don't have. They can just see a scumbag like a dog can smell dope in a suitcase.

:mad: :mad: :mad:

That's better!

But I get where you're coming from - kind of an ambiguous headline, no?

wish she had had a taser on her. right to the groin, buddy.

She likely wasn't the first or last.
