A woman was randomly attacked in broad daylight while leaving a Long Island City Chipotle on Wednesday. Running Lao tells FOX 5 that thankfully she was saved by a stranger passing by. Lao, tells FOX 5's Antwan Lewis that a man who she had never met, came to her rescue when he noticed she was being attacked. She says the attack happened in the middle of the day with people walking by but no one stopped to help, except for one concerned stranger turned friend.
Jerome David, 56, saw Lao on the ground after the attack, but said he thought it was a staged joke at first. "Miss Lao starts screaming ‘help, help’ and bloods gushing from her head," he said when he realized it wasn't a joke. David said he then pinned the woman down as she swung at him, hitting him so hard in the face that she broke his glasses. He says he even had to sit on the woman in order to hold her until police arrived.
