Another Woman Attacked on the Upper East Side - Yahoo! News

Another Woman Attacked on the Upper East Side - Yahoo! News: "UPPER EAST SIDE — A 25-year-old woman narrowly escaped being raped on the Upper East Side last week, just a few blocks away from where an 85-year-old woman was sexually assaulted on Monday, police told DNAinfo.
Witnesses heard the terrified young woman screaming just before 5 a.m. on May 22 after a man grabbed her as she pulled out her keys in the doorway of her building on East 90th Street, close to Lexington Avenue.
'Call 911, he's attacking me!' the 25-year-old woman screamed in the predawn darkness, witnesses said.
'I heard her scream … and I called 911,' said witness Sarah Bramwell, 31. 'He grabbed her from behind and threw her down and was trying to pull her dress up.'
Luckily, a doorman in a building across the street heard the attack and raced to help the woman — sending the attacker fleeing."
