As reported in the New York Post (8/26) by reporters Steven Vago, Steve Janoski and Carl Camanille, an assailant seized a 1010 WINS journalist by the hair and body-slammed her to the ground in a random senseless act outside the radio station office building, according to police and the victim. Kelly Dillon – a veteran New York City news and traffic reporter who was also with WCBS 880 – detailed the sudden attack in a Saturday TikTok video, describing how she was “assaulted on the streets of New York City, randomly, by a man” just after midnight Wednesday. “There are many crimes being committed – random acts, random attacks – on females on the streets,” Dillon said. “It’s not going away, and it’s not getting any better. And it’s getting much, much worse. And the media and the police are definitely downplaying this. It’s a huge, huge problem.” Dillon’s ordeal began when she left the Hudson Street office building and started heading home to New Jersey after finishing her last report of the night, she said. “The area is quite desolate at night, it’s a quiet neighborhood,” she said in the video. “I’m always on guard walking through the city as a young female alone.” Dillon added that she thinks city officials are trying to cover up such recent violence, which she believes is more widespread than people know and is being perpetrated by an organized group of men with a vendetta against women. “They’re absolutely trying to downplay this,” Dillon said of the city. “It cannot be downplayed. The streets are not safe for women or, honestly for anybody right now. But in particular, females. This felt very deliberate and planned.” The NYPD responded to the allegation in a statement to The Post on Sunday by recounting Dillon’s report of the attack and adding, “There are no arrests and the investigation remains ongoing.” Dillon said she is slowly recuperating from the shocking assault. “I can’t move my arm. At this point it’s still healing,” she said. “That’s quite painful. And just obviously, the whole body is in a tremendous level of pain from the body-slam, hitting the pavement and just the trauma, the whole situation.” To read the entire NY Post story, please click here.
