Physical attacks in urban areas controlled by soft-on-crime Democrats are shocking, but just as shocking is the reaction of bystanders witnessing the unchecked violence.
A video making the rounds online this week showcases a woman being attacked from behind in New York City by a knife-wielding female suspect. As the woman fights off her attacker, people can be heard commenting, and some recording the assault, but the best anyone could do in intervening came when a person kicked the knife away after the assailant dropped it during the struggle.
The women continued to fight as bystanders offered commentary on the confrontation — it’s not clear what may have prompted the attack or if the women knew one another. Events took on a comedic angle when the victim attempted to use her attacker’s shoestrings to tie her feet together.

The attack comes on the heels of a woman being shot and killed by police in Times Square after she stabbed two strangers in a random attack and then refused orders to drop two knives — the woman died along with one of her victims, an executive with Bank of America.
It’s hard to see such blatant crime and not recall criminal-friendly policies embraced by left-wing Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Soros-backed Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.
Here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:
lol you clearly haven’t been to NYC recently.

Videos of incidents like this should not exist. You’re close enough to potentially save someone’s life, but you stand there like a f*cking moron recording the attack.

This keeps happening in NYC.
Last week a woman slashed a stranger on the shoulder after an argument on a Brooklyn subway platform.
The week before that a mentally ill woman stabbed two people in Times Square.
Here a bystander at least kicks the knife away while everyone else…
