From the Daily News:
Three men are wanted for threatening to kill a 24-year-old Occupy Wall Street protester because she was pressing charges over an assault at the group’s Zuccotti Park encampment.
The young protester was roughed up at the Downtown sit-in by a man named Garfield Leslie, 19, police said Tuesday.
Leslie offered to sell the woman drugs, and when she declined that offer and his romantic advances, he punched her in the face and dished out more blows to two friends who had come to her defense, police said.
For some crazy reason, the woman in question decided to call the cops and press charges. Garfield Leslie got arrested and then some of his friends paid a visit to the victim:
“You got our friend arrested. We’re gonna kill you! Watch you back!” they warned her, police said.
If you haven’t picked up on the pattern yet, OWS is just not a safe place for women.
Update: Police have arrested one of the three men who threatened to kill the victim:
Police have arrested a 23-year-old New Jersey man in connection with an assault inside the Occupy Wall Street protest site in lower Manhattan.
Police said Tuesday that Hasan Castillo was arrested on charges of intimidating a witness. It wasn’t clear if he had a lawyer.
