From NBC News: Suspect Arrested in Forest Hills Burglary, May Be Linked to Others: Police
By the way, what ever happened in the Forest Park attack case from a couple of months ago? Here's a story from the (holding my nose) NY Post about it: Rapists stalk in Qns. park
OK, it's funny you posted this. I had a long conversation with someone on Sunday who claimed it was never ok ever to walk in Forest Park alone if you are female. I enjoy occasionally running in the park, but always do it during the day and on the main horse paths. I argued that I rarely go 2-3 minutes without seeing someone so I feel pretty safe. She countered that the park has too many attacks. But I feel, sadly, you can get attacked anywhere and you have to live your life. What do others think? Is it ok to jog in the park alone as a female in the morning?
ReplyDeleteMost of my female friends who are avid joggers (not forest park specifically) carry pepper spray. They're tiny and fit on the side of your spandex pants (if it has a pocket). Not saying we should constantly be worried or on the lookout, but it doesn't hurt to carry this little device.
