«Who would allow something like that to take place?»<\/b>
\nBystanders who witnessed the rape of a woman on a suburban Philadelphia train \u201cshould have done something,\u201d according to police. Fiston Ngoy,35, who is known to Upper Darby police and Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority alike, has been charged with rape, aggravated indecent assault and related counts, according to Delaware County court records obtained by The Associated Press. The assault, all of which was captured on surveillance footage, occurred Wednesday night on the Market-Frankford Line, Upper Darby Police Department Superintendent Timothy Bernhardt told AP. \u201cThere was a lot of people, in my opinion, that should have intervened; somebody should have done something,\u201d said Bernhardt of the footage. \u201cIt speaks to where we are in society; I mean, who would allow something like that to take place? So it\u2019s troubling.\u201d Officers were called to the 69th Street terminal around 10 p.m. that night after a nearby employee of the SEPTA reported \u201csomething wasn\u2019t right\u201d with a female passenger, said Bernhardt. The woman, who Bernhardt called \u201cunbelievably strong,\u201d was located by transit authorities waiting at the next stop and they subsequently took her to the hospital. Though the woman told authorities she did not know the attacker, she did give police a great deal of information, said Bernhardt, noting she\u2019s \u201con the mend.\u201d \u201cHopefully she will get through this,\u201d he said. In a statement, SEPTA said \u201cthis horrific act… may have been stopped sooner\u201d had a bystander called 911. With News Wire Services<\/p>\n
