New York woman strangled with a belt, beaten unconscious and sexually assaulted at night

The attack occurred about a week ago in the Big Apple and can be seen on video. They see a woman walking down a street at night when a man wearing a white face covering sneaks up behind her, throws the loop belt over her head and tightens it around her neck.

By the time the woman realizes what’s happening, it’s too late… and the man drags her along the sidewalk with his belt as she gasps for air. Eventually she goes limp – and he drags her between two cars, seemingly manipulating her body before the video cuts out.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the attack occurred around 3 a.m. on May 1 in Mott Haven, a neighborhood in the Bronx, on the woman before she fled the scene.

Police eventually responded and our sources say the woman was taken to a hospital. Thankfully, we’re told she survived the ordeal – but we can only imagine the trauma.
