As a woman was raped on a public transit train in Philadelphia last week, riders held up their cellphones and pointed them in the direction of the sexual assault instead of calling 911, authorities say.

last week, riders held up their cellphones and pointed them in the direction of the sexual assault instead of calling 911, authorities said Monday.

A 35-year-old suspect, Fiston Ngoy, was arrested on rape and assault charges. Ngoy, who listed his last address as a homeless shelter, remains in custody on $180,000 bail. It's not clear if he has obtained an attorney or public defender. The attack wasn't reported until a transportation authority employee saw what was happening. Officials said at the news conference that officers responded within three minutes of the employee's report.

American blacks must support the republican party otherwise your life will never matter to liberalS of the democratic party ...who only care about your vote but not your life

They should all be charged as an accessory

God...can you IMAGINE being that woman, having that happen to you, and people film it, rather than calling police Let this be a lesson to all of us to stick up for others, and do what is right. ALWAYS.

Shame on them. 🙄

Gives a new meaning to turning a blind eye? or where they just scared to get involved?

Welcome to the new America?

The new America.

Wow, that is absolutely horrifying.

What the tell us WRONG with people? Mind boggling.

Charge the riders with the rape, too.

This is seriously fucked. Disturbing.

Unfortunately a classic case of bystander effect where in a group of ppl everywhere assumes that someone else will call for help and so no one does. Has been around since the beginning of time.
