Saw something terrible on service road to LIE yesterday
Original post by smooch
I took a late lunch from work to go to the doctor for a checkup yesterday. As I was getting off the LIE, I see a silver van parked on the shoulder of the service road, the driver's side door open. Now I'm passing the van and looking in my rear view mirror to see what's going on. I see a man and a woman up against the fence on the side of the road. She's struggling to get away, and he's physically holding her. She's flailing her arms, he keeps throwing her up against the fence.
I started to call the police, but I don't know why, I didn't dial 911, I called the local precinct. No one answered. I doubled back as fast I could via backroads (one way street on the service road). As I got back, she's walking away, the guy is following her in the van. I pulled up next to her, offered her a ride, asked if I could call anyone for her. She's crying and trying to make a call on her cell. She says she doesn't want a ride but she was looking backward, frightened like she wanted to take the ride, but was afraid to. I had already dialed 911 when I was turning around. Just as the dispatcher answered, I saw a cop come screaming down the service road the wrong way. I figured he'd handle it, so I left for my appt.
I couldn't believe that! I hope she is okay, and that the guy won't ever hurt her.

Karen, it was exit 65 - Horseblock Road. They were arguing or whatever they were doing just east of Boomerangs on the Service Road. I turned south onto Horseblock, took the next right, then came back up through Boomerangs to get back to the Service Road.

That was really brave of you! You were a guardian angel that day! If I were you I would have run the guy over 'by accident' I am sure he would be missed...
