October 15, 202085-Year-Old Woman Sexually Assaulted in Bay Ridge
The man is in police custody.
If you heard the helicopters today, it was because the NYPD were searching the parks for man who sexually assaulted a 85-year-old woman in Bay Ridge this morning. (Story here)
This happened on 94th Street near Marine Avenue. A man followed the woman into the laundry room at her building at 9:23 am. He exposed himself to her and attempted to rape her. This article says that another resident walked into the laundry room and interrupted the attack. (I believe this was another woman from what I was told.) The man ran off. (Source)
HOW AWFUL.
The incident was reported to the police two hours later. That’s when it appeared in the Citizen App and Bay Ridge residents started sharing the incident.
The woman was taken to the hospital. Hopefully, she is okay.
The Post reported that the police ran a photo of the suspect from the surveillance footage through the NYPD’s facial recognition unit and tracked him down. Great work!! (See here)

Not one politician or police officer mentioned this to residents while this pervert was running loose in our neighborhood all day. Why not put out a warning? Do you think Mrs. Brannan and Mrs. Gounardes knew about this? Of course they did.
What about Captain Tolson at the 68th Precinct? Why didn’t he give us a heads up?
The pervert could have passed you (or your kids) on the street. He could have attacked or went into another apartment.
Councilman Brannan and Andrew Gounardes decided to tell the public right before 5:00 pm. I could understand if Gounardes was in Albany and didn’t know, but the NYS legislature is not in session. These two didn’t think they should tell the public even when the helicopters were flying overhead all morning and afternoon?

Rape statistics are up in the 68th Precinct. This was brought to Andrew Gounardes’ attention at a meeting in July. Gounardes made light of the statistics. The video from the meeting was never shared online because several mistakes were made.

— Max Rose (@MaxRose4NY) October 14, 2020
Nicole Malliotakis said Max Rose says one thing in a commercial and then he goes to Washington and votes to defund the police.

Max Rose on bail – he said Nicole and he had the same position. She said NO!
![]()
Max Rose said this was a NYS Bill (meaning: Andrew Gounarardes, Malliotakis and Frontus voted on it). He said he went helped fix that bill. Malliotakis said that the bail bill is far from fixed. Nicole said robbery and burglary are high due to the bail reform.

Malliotakis said that Max Rose took special interest money. Nancy Pelosi is very involved in this election. Rose originally agreed not to accept special interest money. Nicole questioned why should people trust Max if he says one thing and did the exact opposite.
Rose said that he is consistently ranked as a bipartisan politician. He said he is independent of his party. Rose said that his bills have been signed by President Trump.

Lighting Round
Quick Questions from Errol
Errol Louis asked if the candidates will vote by absentee ballot, early voting or on Election Day. Malliotakis said she is voting early or on election day. Rose said early voting.
Covid Test – Both had one
Flu shot – Neither got it yet.
Have you eaten at a restaurant – indoors or outdoors? Max Rose said he has eaten outdoors. Nicole ate indoors and outdoors.
Yankees or Mets – both agreed on Yankees
Mass transit: Nicole took the subway in February. Max Rose said last month.
Legalizing Pot – Max Rose said Yes. Nicole Malliotakis said No.
Covid Vaccine – Max Rose said he will take it. Malliotakis said Yes too.
Somethings I will look into because of this debate:
a) Nicole Malliotakis said, “We can not rely on the Communist Chinese Party.” This is the second time this was mentioned this week. We have to look into what their role is in NYC.
b) Nicole Malliotakis mentioned Police Officer Eddie Byrne’s program not being funded and that Max Rose voted for the attorney general to strip these funds. I wasn’t sure about what this was about. Eddie Byrne was a police officer who was killed in 1988. (See here) This article talks about the Trump Administrator withholding money from this program (See here) Does anyone have any more info on this?

October 13, 2020Do You Have an Old Cooler to Donate?
Did you receive one of these foam coolers with a medicine or food delivery? If you can donate it, please send a message here
Bay Ridge Cats is a group of kind people who are concerned about the cats that live in our neighborhood. They train people to TNR (trap, neuter and return the cats), as well as make the foam coolers into warm beds for the cats (they line them with straw).
Last year, Bay Ridge Cats had a giveaway for the coolers so people could pick one up for the backyard cat visitors.
