This week, our asshole's plans were foiled. This does not make him any less of an asshole, not even a little bit, but it does make his victim more fortunate than so many others in the city. Our TV-ready story goes like this: On Tuesday evening, around 7:30, a man with a black SUV parked at 16th and Market called to a young woman, a Temple student, passing by to help him get his baby tucked into the car-seat. She stopped to assist him, and he shoved her inside the car and locked the door. Once she's trapped inside, he threatens her with the handgun resting on the center console. The baby was just a doll. Then traffic stalled at the end of the block, and the woman forced the door open and escaped safely at 16th and JFK, to make it home unharmed.
