59-Year-Old Woman Raped at Kaiser Park in Coney Island at 8:30 am on Tuesday, May 26th
On Tuesday, May 26th at 8:30 am, a woman was raped at Kaiser Park on Bayview and Neptune Avenues in Coney Island. News:
https://shorturl.at/4ctp9
The 59-year-old woman was walking through the park and a man threw her to the ground. She tried to fight him off. He raped her and ran away. Please pray for this woman, who must be in shock that she wasn’t safe in a park in broad daylight.
Assemblyman Brook-Krasny shared this:
I’m surprised Councilwoman Kayla Santosuosso, who represents Coney Island and Bay Ridge didn’t share information about the rapist, who is still at large. If Santosuosso is on maternity leave, her staffer, Chris McCreight should have shared the perp’s picture and issued a warning to the women in Coney Island by now!

Dead Rats Floating in the Gowanas Canal. Why Isn’t Senator Gounardes Taking Action?
Yikes! Dead rats are floating in the Gowanas Canal. Bianca explains this:
The residents call the dead rats Gowanas footballs. See original video and comments here: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DY5NlbcSPLT
This is the area where developers won with Senator Gounardes and Governor Kathy Hochul as 5,300 new apartments were planned for this area. And this is where they thought affordable housing should be put. Info:
Governor announces 18 Gowanus housing developments with 5,300 units at Nevins Street groundbreaking
The environmental concerns in this area don’t seem to be an issue for anyone.
Should people be canoeing in this Superfund area? It’s a little over $30 a ticket to take a ride. Look: https://gowanusdredgers.org/events/category/guided-tours
