Police on Wednesday released surveillance video showing a man who pushed a woman to the ground in a quiet Queens neighborhood and would have raped her, if not for a stranger they say who stepped in to intervene.
The 47-year-old victim was attacked around 2 a.m. Sunday near 147th Street and Roosevelt Avenue in downtown Flushing, police said.
Police said a good Samaritan happened to be walking in the area and intervened. That's when the suspect took off running.
The victim was treated by EMS at the scene, according to police. Her attacker has since been cuffed, the NYPD says.
