Why Are Women Getting Punched In The Face On The Streets Of NYC?

Many are wondering what's going on in New York City and why so many women are getting randomly punched in the face while just walking down the street?

If you happened to be scrolling on TikTok on Monday, you may have come across a video of a woman telling her story about being punched in the face as she walked down the street. And then scrolling further, you may have come across another. And then another. So just what's going on in the city all of a sudden that women are being punched in the face for no reason?

Content creator and influencer, Halley shared a video on Monday morning telling her disturbing story of how she was just punched in the face while walking down the street. The evidence, a large egg on the right side of her forehead, told just as much of the story as she did.

"You guys. I was literally just walking and a man came up and punched me in the face," she began the video that quickly went viral with more than 21.3 million views. "It hurts so bad. I can't even talk. Literally, I fell to the ground, and now this giant goose egg is forming, and I'm like, oh my God. So crazy."

More than 10,000 comments quickly flooded the comment section of the video. While many wanted to know if the police were called and if she's okay, others shared that they also had a similar issue happen recently.

"It happened to me as well, a whole slap because he didn't like my hat," one person shared. Another added, "OMG I saw someone else post the same thing happened to them last week."

A follow up video shared more of Halley's story, as well as an update.

"I was just walking on the sidewalk, and my head was down, and I was like looking at my phone, just sending an email. But there was so much room on the sidewalk and literally nobody was around, and I guess this man, I don't know if he punched me or if he elbowed me. I literally passed out," she said.

"I think he just was really mad that my head was down. He was walking his dog, so he took it upon himself to body check me and let me know to be conscious of my surroundings."

Halley said after being punched, she fell to the ground and "blacked out for a second." When she got up, the man was screaming at her. That's when she got up and ran away out of fear.

One follower suggested, "Do you remember what area you were at? Nearby businesses may have security cameras facing the sidewalk." Another viewer wrote, "Wait, this is the 2nd video I saw like this today!"

In another follow up video, Halley explained that she did go to urgent care to get checked out. She also revealed that she did call the police and was told that her story matches another one they recently got.

Another video by a different influencer, Mikayla Toninato, also shares a story of being punched in the face while walking down the street on Monday.

"So I just got punched in the face walking home. I was literally like leaving class, I turned the corner and I was looking down, and I was looking at my phone and texting. And then out of nowhere, this man just came up and hit me in the face," she said. "I'm actually in shock right now. I'm just like walking home because what else do you do?"

She concluded her video with a warning.

"I guess if you're in New York right now and you're walking while looking at your phone," she said. "Maybe don't do that."

Her video also quickly went viral with more than 4.3 million views and nearly 13,000 comments.

"WHAT IS GOING ON IN NYC TODAY?" one viewer wrote in the comments. Another added, "CALL THE POLICE this is the third time I’ve seen this story in 30 MINUTES!!!!"

About a week ago, another TikTok creator, Olivia Brand, shared a video saying she was punched while walking on the sidewalk.

"I literally just got punched by some man on the sidewalk," she explained while walking down the street. "He goes, sorry, and then punches me in the head."

Many viewers left comments saying this is the second or third video they are seeing with the same disturbing theme. Some even said they saw this video in their FYP just before or after seeing Halley's video.

"Why is the video of the other girl getting punched right before this?" one person wrote. Another said, "Was it the same freaking guy as the other girl? I’m so confused why this keeps happening."

With so many people coming across the videos with the same disturbing theme on TikTok, it's opening a conversation about being alert and aware of your surroundings at all times.

TikToker Taylor Paré shared a video talking about the multiple videos she's seen of girls being punched in the face. She also told her story of being randomly punched in NYC last year.

"Three different videos of girls getting punched in the face for being on their phones in New York. What's going on?" she started her video. "It reminded me of last year when I got punched in the face because I was on my phone in Union Square. And you don't see it coming, and all of a sudden you just think to yourself, what just happened."

She explained that she saw the guy who punched her in the face. She chased after him and asked, "What the f---?"

"When this stuff happens to you, you have such a delayed reaction and response," she continued. "You think that you'd be alert, you'd be up to scrap. No. You're just kind of in shock that someone would put their hands on you in such a vulnerable moment."

Paré then said she's begging everyone to be more alert and not to be on their phones while walking down the street.

"Actually what we need to do is encourage proactive bystanders, not further regulate women's existence in public spaces. People just stand and stare. That's the problem," one viewer shared in the comments.

Another person pointed out that only women are being targeted in NYC. "Yet I haven’t heard one dude being punched for being on his phone. It’s ridiculous how many men just buck up to women and women alone."

I think anyone with an ounce of consideration and sensitivity can understand huge frustration and even rage being directed at people who insist on walking along busy NYC sidewalks with their faces buried in their phones and no awareness whatsoever of their surroundings, thereby requiring anyone and everyone who's walking towards them in the opposite direction WITHOUT their faces buried in their phones to take full responsibility for not running into them by zig-zagging out of the way or sometimes even stopping short. Although of course I would never punch or knock anyone down for doing this, I have sometimes loudly told the offending parties to look where the fuck they're going.

Even though countless people do it, does anyone really think it's acceptable for someone not to look where they're going, especially when walking in a city with as much foot traffic as New York?

I have seen it happen but in the 90's in downtown Chicago. Some Mexican looking woman was waking with her kids, and then this black guy prepped his elbow and as they walked past each other he whacked her right in the eye with his elbow. So traumatic for the lady. She was crying. The guy just walked like nothing had happened.

by Anonymousreply 37March 26, 2024 8:46 PM

R36, whether or not they were making video of themselves walking down the street, the point is they all admitted they were looking at their phones rather than where they were going. As if they were the only person walking along a busy New York City sidewalk, with no awareness at all that anyone else in the city exists.

By the way, it is possible to use your phone when you're walking around in the city without being inconsiderate of others, either by moving to the side (as R37 suggested) or being sure you keep looking up frequently to be sure no one coming from the opposite direction is directly in your path. But such simple courtesy seems to be beyond so many people.

Women are getting punched because they are less likely to attack back, and are more likely to blame themselves (I was looking down at my phone) and not report it to the police. Cowardly men know this.

R39, it's possible to think that of course it's wrong to punch a woman (or a man) in the face for having their head buried in their phone while walking down a NYC sidewalk AND to SIMULTANEOUSLY find such behavior incredibly selfish and dangerous.

I ride on a bike path every night and there are always people walking or even riding along with their faces buried in their phones. There are clear lanes marked for the bikes and another one for the people walking and they often drift into the bike lane because they aren't paying attention. It's gotten to the point where I ride right up to them and almost hit them with my bike because I'm sick of it.

The worst, however, are the men who deliberately jog or ride in the wrong lane. I played chicken with one guy one night and I refused to move because he was in the wrong lane. He finally veered over and gave me a dirty look and I yelled, "Wrong lane!" People need to pay attention. But no one should be getting punched for not doing so.

It’s incredible that in NYC of all places there are women looking at their phone while walking the streets instead of using situational awareness to constantly be on guard and be aware of the threats around them. That sense of not having to pay attention because nothing could ever happen to them is shocking. They act surprised even though it’s New York. They should be glad they haven’t been pushed on to the subway tracks yet.

In 1992 my sister was walking on Vanderbilt Ave by Grand Central. It was late afternoon, plenty of people on the street. A homeless crazy man hauled off and punched her in the face as he walked past her. Some Japanese tourists, who were horrified, stopped to help her. One of them went to find a cop. The police took her statement and opened a case but nothing was ever done. She spent weeks with a massive bruise on her face that made me want to cry.

She was 22 and on her way back from a job interview. When she got a callback she declined and has hated the city ever since even though she knows she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Like, pay attention to where you walk and your surroundings. My god, women used to have that shit drilled into them. Never park by a van, never walk alone, never wear headphones so that you can't be alert to the sounds around you. We would have also been told never to bury our face in a book whilst walking, but come on, do you really need to be told that? Also, I think Tik tokers are fairly full of shit too. The goddamn crying video to get clicks. Remember when crying was a shameful thing you did alone in the dark or in the shower?

I knew instinctively, 20 years ago in the earliest days of smartphones to never walk city streets whilst looking down at your phone. There is nothing worth being distracted by between the vehicles and foot traffic that you cross at your peril. At the very least find a little nook to stop between buildings or something where there is some wall protecting you from psychos.

Things are tens of times worse now. But then I see the video at [R3]. The girl who was assaulted while looking down at her phone, the first thing she does is pull out her phone and walk along giving a selfie commentary. I guess there is just no hope for these people to gain some common sense.

Yes, R64, I understand that those two things are not "comparable," and I never said they were. But people who walk around with their faces buried in their phones are more than just "annoying," they are a danger to themselves and others. And the only reason they get away with it is that people like you tolerate the behavior as simply "annoying," rather than calling these people out for it.

[quote]—Stock answer

Defacto is allergic to the truth because the truth is the enemy of his agenda.

It’s not just that crime is down, it’s that New York City is the safest large city in America. So, why does Defacto run here every time there’s a crime in NYC or LA and post about it?

Why isn’t he posting about the crime rate in his own city, Pittsburgh, which is higher than NYC or LA?

It’s because he’s a liar. He’s here spreading the lie that liberal coastal cities are more dangerous because liberalism is a failed policy. Which is a lie. Just compare the crime rate in NYC to that of a conservative city like Jackson MS, a vastly more dangerous city. Its conservatism that has failed, not liberalism.

The moron at r69 doesnt understand that the reason that NYC has a low 'crime rate' is because:

1)Lots of crime goes unreported, especially amongst immigrant neighborhoods who traditionally fear the police

2)Official crime rates only reflect reported crime that has a written police report. Police will resist writing crime reports for minor crimes.

3)Lots of people dont bother reporting crime because the police wont do anything and prosecutors wont file charges.

I assume this happens in NYC because it's a bustling city where you need to keep moving because people have places to be. I could see this also happening in Hollywood or something, on Hollywood Boulevard where fucking tourists are lollygagging, walking slow, filming, taking pics, etc. It annoys the shit out of me too. When I am driving in the parking lot of the grocery store, without fucking fail, some chick walks out in front of me, sometimes with kids, looking at her phone. They just assume you are going to stop, I guess. Luckily I do and am not also staring at my phone. I totally understand the guy with the dog glaring at the one girl. And again, crying on fucking video is so lame and manipulative. The fact that the chicks just stay on their phone is ridiculous. I've never been to NYC but I lived in Hollywood and I know the pain of walking behind someone who is oblivious. Also, fuck tik tok and influencers. Use your influence to make people more courteous!

If we looked at statistics another way, (say, at income level of violent crime committers vs. their race). it would show that poor people (who are disproportionally black and hispanic), commit more crimes than per capita than people who have money. And that makes perfect sense. Poor people are often desperate, which translates into muggings, armed robberies, etc.

The answer to the first question is 'no'. ALWAYS FUCKING 'NO'.

The answer to the next two questions don't even remotely apply to the thrust of this story which, according to the DL hivemind seems to be: a random passing woman on the sidewalk minorly inconveniences a man, she therefore deserves to be sucker punched in the face by said man. In fact, not only does she deserve it, but her assault is vital to societal growth. Obnoxious women need to be punched in the face by men or they may never learn to stop inconveniencing them.

R175 the oppressed can easily turn into oppressors if you give them a chance.

And Rwanda for eg. where the oppressed tribe committed one of the most atrocious genocides against the member of the tribe whose ancestors had been the oppressors.

Serbs in Bosnia have killed 8000 Muslim men and boys in a day on the wave of "woke" Milošević politics whose main substance was pulling out all the injustices and oppression committed against Serbs during the Ottoman empire and during WW2 (which had been real).

Have you noticed that Putin, when attacking Ukraine, pulled out the Ukrainian Nazis from WW2. Nobody can deny that Russians had been one of the greatest victims of WW2.

When an ethnicity, nation or tribe start side eyeing another one for the injustice that their ancestors had committed against their ancestors you know it is just not going to end well. The new bigotry gets started because you put the blame on someone solely because of his race, ethnicity etc., which is as toxic as the previous injustices.

You Americans lack the historical knowledge that us people from other parts of the world have, but all this anti white ideology is very dangerous. Blacks are still minority, but nothing is preventing assholes among them from these individual "retribution".

Only a few people here have actually said that these women deserve to be sucker punched, and I certainly hope they were joking. But for the umpteenth time, people walking along the sidewalk with their faces buried in their phones and not looking where they're going are not "minor inconveniences." That might be true if only a tiny percentage of phone users exhibited such behavior, but the fact that SO MANY people do is a public nuisance that creates a safety issue. This over and above the fact that it's so stupidly selfish to behave that way, especially in a major city with tremendous amounts of foot traffic.

And OF COURSE, lots of men exhibit this behavior as well. I agree that the reason we're reading about only women being attacked for it is, in fact, due to cowardice on the part of the attackers, who will hit or body slam a woman but not a man.

R177, you are correct that victimhood has been used to justify some heinous shit. That doesn't mean we should stop trying to understand the past and identify systemic racism. You're not an American so you might not understand the role racism plays in our recent history. Did you know that black people were excluded from voting as recently as 1965? When Trump was trying to overturn the election, the unspoken basis of his argument was that he had been voted out of office by people who weren't "legitimate" voters ie non-whites.

You speak very confidently about the history and culture of a foreign country and I think you could afford to have a little humility. People are not "playing the race victim card" when they talk about history or how living as a black person in America is different from being a white person. This kind of talk about "playing the race card" used to be more common in America but it's died out as regular people have become more aware of the existence of racism.

Finally, "anti-white ideology" is not a mainstream thing. There are fringe groups like the Nation of Islam that hate white people but it's not a normal or common belief. There's certainly no major political movement that's based around hating white people. "Anti white bigotry" is a boogyman invented by right-wing media to scare their viewers.

R200 I know quite a lot about US, since I live in your, I will not exaggerate if I say, colony, EU. You are the one that needs some humility.

Everyone is aware of the atrocities the Americans have done to their black fellow citizens, but your problem is that you are reversing one hatred with another. And no, Nation of Islam has nothing to do with it. This toxic ideology has been introduced by corporations, American oligarchs (all white btw) and their servants in academia and media. It is turned against white working and middle class anyway and it is a cunning plan to keep sheep in cultural and racial wars while they are exploiting you. And it won't end well.

You have no universal healthcare, no maternity leave (just you and few 3rd world countries) can't afford the housing, but you are solving systemic racism. Don't make me lough. The "woker" you are, the blacks ghettos get more crime ridden, poorer, black families destroyed, more blacks are homeless.

[quote] It is called neocolonialism [R203]

No, it isn’t.

[quote] Neocolonialism is the continuation or reimposition of imperialist rule by a state (usually, a former colonial power) over another nominally independent state (usually, a former colony).This is the continuation of colonial representations and realities which remain after formal colonisation has come to an end. Neocolonialism is the control of less-developed countries by developed countries through indirect means. The term neocolonialism was first used after World War II to refer to the continuing dependence of former colonies on foreign countries, but its meaning soon broadened to apply, more generally, to places where the power of developed countries was used to produce a colonial-like exploitation. Neocolonialism takes the form of economic imperialism, globalization, cultural imperialism and conditional aid to influence or control a developing country instead of the previous colonial methods of direct military control or indirect political control (hegemony).

People think it's being coordinated by incels at The New School.

[quote]More on the girls (~27 so far) who are getting punched in the face in NYC. Currently the theory is that this is being coordinated on a Discord server by two incels at @TheNewSchool.

[quote]There was the black man in the red jacket who was arrested for punching two women, but there have also been reports of a short white man with black hair, a woman (no description), and the man in the video here. The victims are young women on their phone who seem to be distracted. This could tie in to a gripe I’ve seen from red pilled guys that women are too involved with social media to give “good guys” a chance. It’s this diagnosis of why they’re not getting laid. Or it could just be that they’re distracted. It seems whoever is coordinating this is hiring unhoused people to carry out their desired act.

[quote]@thenewschool, can you see if any of your students who are actively using discord on school wifi might match the description of incel types (they do not hide themselves well) and investigate their activity?

[quote]There are also two “games” this might line up with. The NYC Knockout Game (which originally started with black men but has likely been co-opted) and Chick Pickin.

So story time, this aint anything new. When I was still living in NYC, I was taking the subway home to Brooklyn and some psychotic moron started literally chasing me down the stairs and cursing at me for doing nothing...he had a stick and kept hitting my bag with it too. This was in the midst of covid in 2020 so no one was around but mercifully at the last moment some lady security person came around allthough she did jack shit other than tell him to get away from me. He stopped chasing me and I thought he had dissapeared but when I was on the platform waiting he showed up again and while ignoring me, he went up to a group of girls and started coughing in their faces , then got in the train with us and started blaming covid on them (they were asian).

Anyway, unsurprisingly to me who knows the shit luck I always have when I was about to get up and get out at my stop I realized the psycho was getting off at my fucking stop....I stayed put and decided to get off at the next one.

Anyways, literally 2 months later there started to be reports about a man beating up and hitting women right outside the subway station I was supposed to get off at. Something clicked in my head and a few days later they arrested the dude....this dude. His target seemed light skin woc (though I am white)

[bold]NYC woman suffers broken jaw when randomly punched while walking down street[/bold]

CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn (PIX11) – A Brooklyn woman suffered a broken jaw when a stranger randomly punched her while she was walking down the street Tuesday.

The unprovoked attack happened in broad daylight at Grand Avenue and Dean Street in Crown Heights and was caught on surveillance video.

Dulce Pichardo, 57, was walking down the sidewalk when out of nowhere she was punched in the face. The blow caused Pichardo to stumble backward.

“He just punched me on the right side here, very strong,” Pichardo told PIX11 News. She said her attacker never said a word.

TikTok videos of women being punched in NYC lead to 2 arrests: NYPD

“I was surprised. I said, ‘What’s going on? Why did you hit me? Why did you do it?’ I didn’t do anything. No reason to hit me,” Pichardo said.

Pichardo’s brother owns a restaurant across the street and was able to chase down his sister’s attacker. The suspect, 33-year-old Franz Jeudy, was arrested and charged with assault, police said.

Pichardo’s jaw has been wired shut as a result of the punch. Three of her teeth were knocked out and she has nerve damage. She’s also lost feeling in her lips and currently has to drink her food from a straw.

Beyond her injuries, Pichardo said what has affected her the most is her fear. She hopes the city will do more to make sure people are safe just walking down a street.

“I don’t want this happening again. I want New York to do something about this. They have to stop this. It’s not fair,” Pichardo said.
