Fox News
Authorities in Pennsylvania are working to determine if passengers who witnessed an alleged rape on a suburban Philadelphia train line not only didn't call 911 but may have filmed the incident.
Police said the attack occurred at about 10 p.m. last Wednesday on SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line. Police were alerted by a train employee who spotted the woman and thought something was amiss. Police were waiting at the next strop and arrested the suspect, who was allegedly on top of the woman, and rushed her to the hospital.
Fiston Ngoy, 35, was charged with rape and other charges, Fox 29 reported, citing Delaware County court records. Investigators said in the affidavit that Ngoy sat down next to the woman about a minute after he boarded the train car, shortly after 9:15 p.m.
The video shows her pushing him away multiple times until he is seen ripping her pants down at about 9:52 p.m, police said. Ngoy allegedly told police the encounter was consensual but could not remember her name.
