A group of brave New Yorkers took down a horrific rape suspect in Queens, holding him until police arrived in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, a 25-year-old from Ecuador who entered the country illegally in 2021, was accused of cornering two 13-year-olds in a park, forcing them into the woods at knifepoint, tying them up, and raping one of them.
The suspect, who had a history of low-level offenses, was recognized by locals who saw surveillance footage and a police sketch. A group of men at a deli in Corona recognized him and sprang into action, subduing him until authorities arrived.
The suspect, bruised and missing a shoe, was treated for minor injuries after trying to fight back against the good Samaritans who held him down. He was expected to face a slew of charges, including rape and kidnapping.
The incident, which occurred in Kissena Park, shocked the community and highlighted the importance of enforcing minor crimes to prevent more serious offenses. The quick action of the residents who apprehended the suspect was praised by authorities, who emphasized the role of community involvement in keeping neighborhoods safe.
As the suspect was escorted to court, onlookers expressed their disgust at his alleged actions. The case serves as a reminder of the importance of vigilance and cooperation in combating crime and protecting vulnerable members of society.
