There is also video which takes place after the attack showing the man nervously walking alone, repeatedly checking over his shoulder.
The woman told cops she fought back and cops were looking for evidence under her fingernails, a source said. They were also searching for jewelry or clothing that belonged to her alleged attacker.
“Everybody has to be careful and watch their back,” said parkgoer Andrew Wier, of the Upper East Side.
