A Staten Island teen was rescued yesterday after being found tied to a tree off of the Staten Island Expressway. The teen says that his attacker was not a stranger and that he knew him from MySpace.
The source said the two made contact on MySpace.com, a popular social networking Web site. The teen, who investigators said comes from a “solid family,” initially told police he was accosted by a knife-wielding man as he walked to a nearby bus stop.
As cops continued to interview the teen throughout the day, he offered “a little bit more.”
The source said the two made contact on MySpace.com, a popular social networking Web site. The teen, who investigators said comes from a “solid family,” initially told police he was accosted by a knife-wielding man as he walked to a nearby bus stop.
The source declined to speculate as to why the teen and his attacker agreed to meet, or why their rendezvous ended with the bizarre episode.
The teen described his assailant as a black man in his 20s or 30s, wearing dark clothing, police said.
This is a bizarre story indeed, and I don’t think all the facts are in.
