Don’t mess with her!
A fearless City College senior told The Post yesterday how she bravely turned the tables against a perv who groped her on the Union Square subway platform — repeatedly striking him in the head and snapping a picture of the sicko with her cellphone.
“I ran up to him. I kicked him in the face. I was just punching him,” Shyane DeJesus, 22, said.
After she was done, DeJesus shouted at her attacker, “Don’t you ever!”
“I’m glad I fought back,” she said yesterday. “I’m going to defend myself.”
DeJesus, who is majoring in anthropology, also managed to shove her BlackBerry into the man’s face and snap a picture of him to help police nab him.
“I want him caught. I want him on the list for sex offenders,” she declared.
DeJesus, who lives in Queens, was headed to work at a shoe store at 9:50 a.m. Oct. 23 when the drama unfolded as she stood on the platform and leaned over the tracks to see if a train was coming.
That’s when she noticed a man sneaking up alongside her.
Before DeJesus could step away, the deviant began rubbing against her thigh.
“It was disgusting,” she said. “I felt so violated.”
When the downtown No. 6 train arrived, the man “grabbed my right shoulder and pushed my head down and lifted my skirt up and groped me,” DeJesus said.
She began fighting back, and the cowardly creep ran onto the train.
“He went on the train and sat down as if nothing happened. I was hysterical. I yelled that he just groped me. I literally started punching him in the head,” she said.
No one came to her aid.
DeJesus got in a few more knocks on her attacker, and, as the train pulled in to the next station, took her phone out of her bag.
“I held the door and positioned the phone in his face. I was shaking, I’m surprised I got it,” she said.
“He smirked when I looked at him. He never said a word, not a word. All I got was that smirk.”
DeJesus then got off the train and ran to her job, where she called police.
Cops are still searching for the man.
