The violent attack took place on August 29th, after the victim dropped off a friend at a bus stop shortly after midnight.  As the young woman is walking along the desolate street, the attacker is seen jumping her from behind, punching, then forcing her in to an alley where she is raped repeatedly for hours, while reportedly yelling, “Ha, Ha, I just infected you with HIV.”

Hours later, the young woman awakened and managed to barely stumble down a street where she was spotted by a neighbor who immediately summoned police.  She was taken to a hospital for treatment and given an HIV test as well.  The results have not been released.
