A cyclist was violently attacked by strangers while riding through a well-known park in New York City, ending her daily routine of biking home from her maintenance job in the Upper West Side. The assault occurred late at night, around 9:45 p.m., as she traveled along a route she had taken for the past year, avoiding public transit due to safety concerns. The incident raises questions about security in urban green spaces and the risks faced by those who rely on alternative transportation methods. Details of the attack and any developments in the case remain unclear.
The violent strangers struck around 9:45 p.m as Katherine Marroquin, 32, of the Bronx, biked through the iconic greenspace on her way home from her Upper West Side maintenance worker job -- her routine for the past year because she feared taking the train.
