A woman in New York City was raped by a migrant at knifepoint near a popular beach boardwalk in Brooklyn, according to police sources. The incident took place around 9 p.m. on Sunday night near Surf Avenue and West 16 Street in Coney Island. The New York City Police Department stated that the 46-year-old female victim was approached by two unidentified individuals who forced her to the ground by holding a knife to her throat. One of the individuals then forcibly raped the victim, while a 34-year-old male victim who tried to intervene was struck with an object by the second individual.
The female victim was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, while the male victim, identified as her boyfriend, refused medical attention. The suspects were identified as Daniel Bonilla Davon, 24, and Leovando Moreno, 37, both of whom are homeless. Davon-Bonilla, who is facing charges including first-degree rape and sexual abuse, is reported to be a migrant from Nicaragua. Moreno, on the other hand, has been charged with second-degree assault.
The incident occurred near the boardwalk at Coney Island in New York City’s Brooklyn borough, close to a hotel housing asylum seekers. It was revealed that Davon-Bonilla had been previously arrested in early April for a criminal sexual act. This incident adds to the growing concerns regarding safety and security in the area.
It is important to address the issue of safety in public spaces, especially in areas where vulnerable populations may be at risk. The presence of migrants and homeless individuals in these areas can lead to incidents of violence and crime, highlighting the need for increased security measures and support services for those in need.
Authorities must work to ensure the safety of all individuals in the community, regardless of their background or circumstances. By addressing the root causes of crime and providing assistance to those in need, we can create a safer and more inclusive environment for everyone.
