A woman was raped by a migrant at knifepoint in New York City near a popular beach boardwalk in Brooklyn, police and sources say.
The New York City Police Department told Fox News Digital that the incident happened around 9 p.m. on Sunday night near Surf Avenue and West 16 Street in Coney Island.
"Upon arrival officers were informed a 46-year-old female was approached by two unidentified individuals and forced her to the ground by holding a knife to her throat. One of the individuals forcibly raped the victim," an NYPD spokesperson said. "A 34-year-old male victim attempted to intervene and was struck with an object by the second individual."
Police say the female victim was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, while a male victim – whom the New York Post identified through law enforcement sources as her boyfriend – refused medical attention.
