A New Yorker with a passion for the Big Apple launched a fundraiser Friday for Amber Lohr, a tourist who was stabbed near Times Square.
Sheikh Musa Drammeh, founder of Muslim Media Corporation, launched a fundraiser for a tourist who was stabbed near Times Square .Lohr, who was visiting New York City from Pennsylvania, was stabbed in an unprovoked attack on West 43rd Street and Eighth Avenue this month. An article in thereports that Cyril Destin, 62, a homeless man who has a long RAP sheet, was charged in connection with knifing the 36-year-old woman.
“Anything that affects any New Yorker, affects all of us. But if a tourist visiting New York is attacked, that is even more painful,” Drammeh said, because so many people choose the city as “a destination of choice.” “They let loose individuals who should never ever be let loose,” he said. ”For whatever reason they’re doing it, it is hurting New Yorkers. Because, at the end of the day New Yorkers must be safe for the city to be a place to live and do business.”“One attack on a tourist is one too many,” he said. “We thought that since our newspaper was about peace and public safety and love, then it is incumbent on us to make sure that this family wants to come back and show them what New York is all about.
