The New York City Police Department admitted two cops who were supposed to patrol the building and claimed they had actually never did. The two were taken off enforcement duty and face possible disciplinary action.
The woman was sexually assaulted at knife-point for more than a half hour.
The incident happened at the Van Dyke housing complex Friday night.
The NYPD released the following statement after the attack:
"Only 7-second snippets of each of the 24 cameras in 23 separate buildings in the complex are fed into the monitoring room at any given time. Contrary to published accounts, it has not been established that any portion of the attack was fed into the monitoring room. However, it was established that two officers did not do a vertical patrol of the building when they claimed they had. They were taken off enforcement duties and face disciplinary actions. The rape was at the Van Dyke complex. We do not identify the building out of privacy of the victim."
