Multiple Pedestrians Ignore Dying New York Hero
(April 24) -- A homeless man who was stabbed while saving a woman from a knife-wielding attacker lay dying in a pool of his own blood for more than an hour while several New Yorkers walked past without calling for help.
Surveillance video obtained by the New York Post shows that some passers-by paused to gawk at Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax early Sunday morning and yet kept on walking.
One man came out of a nearby building and took a cellphone photo of the victim before leaving. Another leaned over and vigorously shook the dead man before walking away. But most people never stopped.
Firefighters arrived more than an hour and 20 minutes after Tale-Yax collapsed. By that time, the 31-year-old was dead.
"They needed to help and call the police. I don't get it," resident Ramon Bellasco, 46, told the Post.
The incident happened at 7:21 a.m. almost a week ago at 88 Road and 144th Street in the borough of Queens, but police didn't have a clear idea of what happened until recently.
Tale-Yax is seen on the grainy video approaching a man who was threatening a woman with a knife. The man turned and stabbed Tale-Yax but most of the action is out of the security camera's field of vision. Both the stabber and the woman then fled in different directions and Tale-Yax stumbled a few paces before collapsing face-down on the sidewalk.
Within a minute or so, the first of a long series of people begins walking by Tale-Yax without going to his aid.
Police told the Post they received four 911 calls at around the time of the attack reporting a woman screaming, but found nothing. They said they received no other 911 calls.
The incident is reminiscent of the rape and murder of Kitty Genovese, also in Queens, in 1964. In that case, dozens of people witnessed some or all of the attack and yet no one did anything to stop it.
No arrests have been made in the latest slaying, and police have been unable to identify the woman Tale-Yax was trying to help.

I had some girl come into the busser station the other day trying to make out with every staff member and then pull down her pants and asked for someone to stick a dick in her (at least she shaved).

this stuff happens a lot in NYC & it been on the news twice (this is the 2nd incident thats been on news)
& yes u may think im heartless but do i feel sad & sorry for the homeless guy??? no i don't cuz hes was homeless & was suffering, after he died all the pain & suffering is gone hes relieved
but would i try to have saved him??? yes i would cuz hes a living person but if i couldn't save him, i hope for the best for him in the after world & hope he doesn't become a bum again
I went up to a cute chick and asked her if she'd let me take a photo of her for $30 she slapped me, she said to me that "I AIN'T A WHORE!"
But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".
OH FUCK YOU OH OH OOOOH~

Fuck man, all those people who walked by and no one I mean no one bother to just pull out their cell phone and simply dial 911 or try to get help? That's so fucking shady.
Why it is that when something is related to terrorism people in NYC reacted so quickly? And when it comes to another human being they just don't give a shit?
HARTFORD, Conn. — A 78-year-old man is tossed like a rag doll by a hit-and-run driver and lies motionless on a busy city street as car after car goes by. Pedestrians gawk but appear to do nothing. One driver stops briefly but then pulls back into traffic. A man on a scooter slowly circles the victim before zipping away.
The chilling scene — captured on video by a streetlight surveillance camera — has touched off a round of soul-searching in Hartford, with the capital city's biggest newspaper blaring "SO INHUMANE" on the front page and the police chief lamenting: "We no longer have a moral compass."
Someone should start a random injustices of the world thread where you can post all the sad stories like this.. then anyone who whines about their life can be referred to the thread.
I was going to say the same thing too...the dude saved her life. The very least she could do was call 911 and make sure the guy was OK. (she should have called 911 after being held at knifepoint anyways to report it)
i remember talking to a cabbie in Shanghai, he told me about a story about how this guy was hit by a car. The ambulance came, and they went to help the guy, and realizing that he had no money/insurance (either he was he was homeless or just really poor) they just left him there.
he was badly injured, ie, broken limbs, but still conscious. he apparently lay there for a few days before he finally died.

she likely ran away as soon as her attacker turned his attention to the homeless guy, so it's not surprising that she probably didn't even see any of this happen
IMO this homeless guy should be declared a hero and have some type of monument or street named after him. Funny eh, it's the
HOMELESS guy that helped out, and the iPhone blackberry yuppies who just walked by and did nothing. Posted via RS Mobile
