This is the shocking moment when a man riding a motorized scooter knocks down a woman walking down a Brooklyn street with a bag in her hand.

As the battered woman struggles to stand up, the man on the scooter returns.

Within seconds, the suspect viciously grabbed the 59-year-old woman, dragging her and hitting her repeatedly on the face and torso.

While she was trying to retaliate, the man tore the victims’ pants and underwear and sexually abused her, according to New York police.

As the fierce attack unfolded, several vehicles passed, but no one seemed to intervene.

Here are the chilling moments before the brutal attack, when the man approached the woman who was walking alone on Church Avenue

The disturbing image shows the man sexually assaulting a 59-year-old woman in Brooklyn’s East Flatbush neighborhood. The victim’s clothes and some of her personal belongings are seen scattered on the street while the suspect’s scooter is idle.

After the random attack, the woman was seen standing alone on the street holding her shopping bag.

She reportedly refused medical help at the scene, ABC7 News reported.

The surveillance video released by the NYPD shows the woman lying helplessly on the street while the suspect fled the scene. After the unprovoked attack, the woman refused medical help. Police are searching for the suspect, who remains at large

The incident happened on 9511 Church Avenue at 12:30 on March 31.

NYPD Crime Stoppers offer a $ 3,500 prize.

Anyone with information should call the NYPD Crime Stopline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or in Spanish, 1-888057-PISTA (74782).

New York Mayor Eric Adams has made the fight against crime a priority since taking office on Jan. 1, but crime in New York has risen nearly 50 percent from last year and the death toll has risen 9.3 percent.

The night of violence came just hours after Frank James was accused of firing 33 shots at a Brooklyn subway train from his 9mm pistol at rush hour on Tuesday.

At a news conference Wednesday, Adams – who is quarantined with COVID – said in a video message: “We caught him!”

Tuesday’s attack on the Big Apple underground transit system is just the latest in a wave of crime that has hit the city and hampered its economic return after two years of pandemic restrictions.

Transit crime has risen 46 percent – with another 224 incidents – since last year, when the city reopened.

In March alone, the number of subway crimes jumped 55 percent from the same period last year, according to the latest statistics from New York police. In March this year, 180 crimes were reported, compared to 118 crimes in 2021.

Crime in New York has increased by almost 50 percent compared to last year, and the number of victims of shooting has increased by 9.3 percent

January saw the biggest increase, almost doubling the previous year, with 198 crimes reported, compared with 113 in the first month of last year.

That same month, Deloitte analyst Michelle Go was pushed to death under a Times Square train by a homeless man with a history of mental illness.

The 61-year-old suspect, Marcial Simon, has a criminal record, including two years in prison for robbing taxi drivers with weapons.

Following the assassination, the newly-discovered mayor made safety in the subway system a top priority, holding a press conference at Times Square station in February.

He promised to call riders back and clean up the homeless who use the system to travel to work for shelter.
