A man who attempted to attack a woman on Eastern Parkway near Bedford Avenue on Friday was arrested by police.
The man grabbed the female from behind, and pulled her into an alleyway, and attempted to attack her.
Her screams alerted passerby, who scared the perpetrator away.
The 71st precinct responded immediately to the location and located the perp a couple of blocks away, police said.
The attacker was arrested for attempted rape.
He was also identified as the perpetrator caught on surveillance video of an attempted attack the day before on the Subway near Atlantic Avenue.
Police have notified that contrary to rumors spread on social media, the victim of the crime is not from the Lubavitch community.
A women has the right to wear what she wants to that does not give a man a right to attack her, and there are a lot of mentally ill people walking around and I don’t think when he attacks her, he is looking to see what she has on, and I have heard of a women getting attacked and she was dressed tznius,
Crown heights had its very tough days but slowly it’s improving. You need to get rid of all the blacks in the area and then you will have peace.
A woman should be dressed according to Jewish law and a man should protect her according to Jewish law . but men endorse their cowardice by the fact that women are not modestly dressed.

The dear tzadeikes brutally attacked and murdered in her own home many years ago in Crown Heights, Pesha Leah Lapine, a”h, dressed with impeccable tznius.
Halevai this would solve everything: not to say we should backslide on tznius, of course, but you don’t go and act like a know-it-all at a time like this: how insensitive!!!!!
You are a disgrace. How a woman dresses has nothing to do with why a man attacks her. It is never her fault. Besides, I’ll indulge you ever so slightly, with the current weather she was most likely fully tznius and yet he still attacked. He is the problem, not her.
I am sorry but this is purely blaming the victim. Like all the responsibility lays on ladies dressing immodestly ya rights… seriously, its time to accept that the safety of women has nothing to do with how they dress, but everything to do with people being responsible for their own acts. Not every man is a pervert, not every woman who dresses not tsnius looking for attention. We live in a neighborhood with millions of visitors, many of who are not religious, how come they don’t get attacked even if they are dressed immodestly. Your comment is plain stupid.
Please don’t give people the excuse to do immoral and disgusting things #GoGetHelp
Hello! What is going on! Why do these people think they can do whatever they want, and whenever!
i am a totally tznius lady and i have one thing to say to you ..
go get help !!!
If you counted ten thousand dollars in cash on a street that was full of drugs and got robbed. What would the police say. Why did you count your cash openly in middle of the street. Same with women not dressing modestly. They are looking for trouble if they dress immodest.
Depends what his lawyer pleads. Attempted rape can easily carry ten years. If he has mental illness that might translate into ten years of mental institution incarceration.
I think the last sentence of the article shows why the attacker was sought and apprehended and arrested so quickly. Why doesn’t that happen in our neighborhood?
He got ‘Out on the streets’ lol .
Police arrested attacker.
But what he get? Probation or few month of jail ?
Need strong judicial system
Very important- if we cant control the crazies on the streets at least we should know how to deal with them if need be
