Summer Armstrong

Um, I really wanted to bring awareness to the stuff that has been happening to young women in New York City.

I've heard so many stories and on my TikTok I say, I never thought that this would happen to me but it's really sad.

This is something that happens all the time in New York and I really want to make sure and use my voice to

Yes.

I mean, the news on TikTok, some, a woman was just

thrown with gas, gasoline and set on fire.

The stories are insane and it's horrific.

Yes, exactly.

I first was in shock and didn't know what to do.

But after the man approached me holding his phone with 911, I decided to call the cops just because I wanted to report this.

And after I did tell the cops, I decided to also let NYU security know so they could alert other students around campus to let them know that this man is going around doing this to other women.

I was I had high hopes.

They were very understanding and kind.

And they were also told me that they were already aware of the man and the blue towel around his neck running around the city and getting this guy.

But I definitely think because of your platform and also X, it helped really.

put pressure on them to really find this guy and work quickly.

So even though I had hopes that they would find this guy, I really don't know if this would get as much attention as it did if it wasn't for X and also for Summer going and getting the footage.

I'm honestly terrified and also grateful at the same time.

I'm so grateful I wasn't alone on like a dark,

abandoned street with no people around.
