‘LITTLEJOHN’ VAN ESCAPE

A college student was left dazed, bloodied and hysterically crying after jumping from a moving van in a desperate bid to get away from the phony lawman who had snatched her off a Queens street, a witness testified yesterday.

Kecia Roney said she heard the screeching of tires when she spotted Shanai Woodard – with her hands cuffed behind her back – topple out of a blue van moving at around 30 mph on a Jamaica street on Oct. 19, 2005.

“There was blood on her face. I don’t recall where it was coming from. She had a lot of blood,” Roney recalled at the trial of Darryl Littlejohn, the burly bouncer also charged with the brutal rape and murder of Imette St. Guillen in 2006.

Roney said she did not get a look at the driver, but did “recall the dark blue van.”

When police arrested Littlejohn in St. Guillen’s slaying, they recovered a blue van at his home. They later charged him with Woodard’s abduction when his DNA was found on the cuffs used to bind her.

Last week, Woodard identified Littlejohn, 44, as the man who dressed as a “fugitive enforcement agent” and grabbed her from a street.

Prosecutors rested their case yesterday.
