Men Who Harass Me: One Women's Partial Collection

Women Savagely Beaten After Rejecting Come-On
From our friends at Gothamist: After two young women refused a Brooklyn man's advances during a late night pizza stop last month, the failed pick-up turned into a violent assault, leaving one women with a fractured jaw and another nearly blinded. One of the victims, a 26-year-old student who would only identify herself as Christine, tells the Post she was eating pizza with her friend at 3:50 a.m. at John & Tony's Pizzeria on First Avenue at 60th Street on March 20th, when they were approached by 31-year-old Dzemal Kolenovic. Christine (pictured) says that after she responded to his advances by asking him to leave her alone, he became abusive, yelling, "F- - - you, bitches. You whores." And when they stepped outside, Kolenovic was waiting, and allegedly threw Christine to the sidewalk. She says, "I asked him, 'Why are you doing this?' and he said, 'Because I'm Albanian, I can do whatever the f- - - I want.' " Her friend tried to dial 911 on her cellphone, but Kolenovic smacked it out of her hands and fractured her jaw, according to police. He then continued beating Christine, who recalls that "first he punched me once in the right eye and then he got really wound up and hit my left eye. I had bruises all over. My arm, my knees were all cut, and my lower back. Both my eyes were swollen shut." She was partially blind for a time, and doctors say she may require several surgical procedures. As for Kolenovic, police were able to track him down via restaurant credit-card receipts! He turned himself in to police last Wednesday and was charged with two counts of felony assault. He's since been released on $5,000 bail to do "whatever the f - - - he wants," and that has Christine understandably worried: "My main concern is that he doesn't come after me and he doesn't do this to anyone else." |

The police are asking for people's help is identifying a man who assaulted a woman during yesterday morning's subway rush hour. According to the NYPD, yesterday at 7:35 a.m., a 33-year-old woman "entered the Subway system at the Broadway Station [in Queens] in the confines of the 114 Pct and entered the 'W' train (Manhattan Bound). As the train approached 39th Street, the victim was sexually abused by the suspect who was sitting next to her. Post courtesy of our friends at Gothamist. |
