Video After The Jump
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A man charged with raping a woman on a commuter train just outside of Philadelphia harassed her for more than 40 minutes while multiple people held up their phones to seemingly record the assault without intervening.
More than two dozen train stops passed as the man harassed, groped & eventually raped the woman, the police chief for the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority said.
Police do not believe a single witness on the train dialed 911. They are investigating whether some bystanders filmed the assault.
Both the man & woman got on the train at the same stop Wednesday night in North Philadelphia. Officers pulled the man off of the woman at the last stop. They responded within about 3 minutes of a 911 call from a transportation authority employee.
“What we want is everyone to be angry & disgusted & to be resolute about making the system safer,” SEPTA Police Chief Thomas J. Nestel III said.
Arrest records show Fiston Ngoy, 35, was charged with rape & related offenses.
The affidavit of arrest for Ngoy detailed times of the assault, including that during those 40 minutes the woman appears to repeatedly push Ngoy away.
Nestel would not give an approximate number of witnesses & it was unclear from the affidavit how many passengers were present for those 40 minutes. Authorities have not released the surveillance video.
“I can tell you that people were holding their phone up in the direction of this woman being attacked,” he said.
