Hope they find him quickly.

And late last night a woman was murdered by a creep following behind her into her building and apartment (on Crystie Street). Just horrible.
Be careful out there and extra vigilant about your surroundings!!

I've not heard any updates on this. I hope the woman is recovering. My building a couple of blocks away was broken into last night. After this attack, and the horrible murder on Chrystie, it's terrifying.
