A harrowing Christmas Eve attack at Grand Central Terminal in New York has sparked outrage as bystanders reportedly failed to assist a young woman after she was brutally stabbed – and not a single one called the police.
The victim, 26-year-old Imani-Ciara Pizarro, detailed her traumatic experience in an interview with the New York Post. She was on her way to a night shift at the Roosevelt Hotel when she was struck from behind. The attacker, identified by police as 28-year-old Jason Sargeant, then lunged at Pizarro with a small knife while repeatedly yelling, “What’s your problem?” and slashing her in the next.
Police were reportedly absent in Grand Central, while bystanders simply “just froze” during the attack – provoking memories of an attack the week prior on the city’s metro where a woman was torched to death by an attacker. “No one called 911. No one in Grand Central called 911. It was my neighbor. I called my neighbor. I was on the phone with my neighbor when it happened and she called 911”
In the case of the aforementioned woman burned to death, no one intervened there either, as seems to be the standard when you live among liberals.
The Post reported that witnesses later identified Sargeant to law enforcement officials. He’s charged with assault, reckless endangerment, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, harassment and disorderly conduct, according to police.
Some on social media were critical of the bystanders.
Others, however, believed that the lack of intervention was due to concerns over a similar scenario to Daniel Penny, who was recently acquitted for the death of a man he restrained on the subway in 2023.
