Today between 3:30 and 4:00 PM my daughter and I were parking on Pine
St. near 46th. I noticed two male teens walking very slowly on the
other side of the street. I felt they were up to no good so I told my
daughter not to unlock the car door. The young men were looking in
cars as they passed and glancing around as if to check who might be
observing them. They eventually noticed us watching and picked up
their pace. After they were down the street and had crossed 46th St.
We got out of the car and started for our gate. We decided to keep
an eye on them as there was a young woman standing on the corner.
They walked past her then turned around. The larger of the two
grabbed her from behind, put his had over her mouth and put her in a
choke hold. The other tried to grab her bag. My daughter screamed,
"Get off her" and I dialed 911. Both of the teens ran down 46th St.
toward Baltimore. The poor young woman was a student from Thailand
who wanted to rent an apt. in the neighborhood. She was on the phone
talking to the landlord when she was attacked. She and we reported
the incident to both the Philadelphia and PENN police. Both
responded to the call. We invited her into our home afterward to
rest and compose herself and then took her back to school. Her neck
was a little sore but she was OK.
The teens were between 15-19, black males. One was approx. 5'
10"-6', slim build, short black hair.
The other was around 5' 5", slim, black hair about 2" long. He was
carrying a shiny silver object that looked like a remote control for
a TV. He may have had a scar or deep depression on the right side of
his face.
