Núñez: A woman was attacked and abused when crossing an underpass

A 32-year-old woman was attacked, robbed and sexually abused during a robbery while crossing the underpass located on Congreso Street and February 3, in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Nuñez.The event occurred on April 13 around 6 in the morning when the victim, a lawyer, was heading towards the Rossi center, A private clinic in the area, to receive medical treatment. While going down the stairs of the place she was surprised by two subjects. One of them knocked her out with a blow and abused her before stealing her cell phone. Despite the woman’s desperate cries, the attackers escaped on their way to the train tracks.” This happened on Thursday the 13th, at 6 in the morning, when she left for the clinic. When she reached the tunnel, a man surprised her, began to beat her in such a way that he knocked her out. Then he pushed her against the stairs, sat on her and abused her,” a friend of the lawyer told TN. The victim made the pertinent complaint at the Neighborhood Police Station 13B of the City and remarked that the domes of the underpass do not work and that there is little light in the area. In addition, he said that the security cameras are painted with aerosols which complicates the identification of the attackers. In her first statement, the lawyer denounced only the robbery, but last Wednesday she expanded her testimony, to include the facts of sexual abuse that for fear she had not mentioned at first. “We learned thanks to the neighbors, after they provided us with the images of the private cameras, that the man escaped jumping the wall. At first, only one attacked her, but for me there were two, because behind him you see another person, who we do not know if they were together and working in complicity, “said the man. On the state of health of the victim indicated that despite the blows and abuse her life is not at risk and is accompanied all the time by her family and friends: “She is a very dear person and will move forward. At that time he was in shock and could only report the robbery. Now he expanded the complaint in the prosecutor’s office about the abuse.” The case was left in the hands of the City Prosecutor’s Office in charge of José María Campagnoli who requested the survey of cameras to find the aggressors despite the complaint of the lawyer.
