Two men suspected of taking part in the brutal gang rape of an 18-year-old girl in New York City on Thursday have turned themselves in to police.
The NYPD is interviewing the men at the 73rd Precinct in Brooklyn after the victim was attacked by five men at gunpoint in a park, according to local media.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio earlier said on Sunday that he was 'disgusted and deeply saddened' and that every possible step would be taken to find the suspects.
Authorities said the woman was accosted just after 9 p.m. Thursday as she and her father walked inside Osborn Playground in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn.
Police said there were five men, and one pointed a gun at the father and told him to leave.
According to the New York Daily News, he pointed it at the victim's father and told him to 'get the f*** out of here.'
Each man raped the woman, police said. The father returned with two police officers, but the attackers fled.
After the attack, the victim was taken to Kings County Hospital, where she was treated and released.
The New York Daily News reported that on Sunday, Brooklyn Borough President and former police captain Eric Adams said: 'They have enough time to do that and leave the scene? That's a substantial amount of time.'
He also reportedly said: 'We need to listen to the 911 call. We need to find out...the response time from the time it was reported. This baffles all my police experience. Something is missing.'
Adams and City Councilwoman Darlene Mealy are reportedly offering $2,000 'for any information leading to an arrest.'
Adams also said: 'There's a missing piece to this entire incident that five individuals raped a person and there was a lapse in the response to come here.'
A deli owner admitted to the Daily News that he didn't believe the woman's father when he asked to use the store's phone to call 911 moments after the assault.
'He looked normal', the clark said. 'He didn't look nervous or desperate.'
Residents told the Daily News the playground's lampposts do not function, and the it is almost completely dark in the evening.
'How can police wonder how stuff like this happens, and then when it gets dark they're not here?' a woman told the newspaper.
The NYPD is urging the public to help identify the suspects.

Wow you gotta luv the use, their police department and penchant for justice.They have to look @ the time that elapsed between the 911 call & their response to the scene & felt it was downright unacceptable. In Nigeria, its allows acceptable oh

Oh Chim, end time
It baffles me why people are raped in the United states where sex is one of the cheapest things...where girls re ever ready and available. The others should be arrested too and sent to jail to face time.
They should be hanged.
-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Observed, God will surely find them, am in love with Linda Ikeji for real and would wish to meet her in person as my 2016 resolution.
Is Better for them to surrender
They have no other choice unless they are planning to become fugitives all their lives. time to get a feedback for their impulsive mean exuberance.
Battling wit one's own conscience is not an easy task,,let em face the law
LINDA NOTIFY DBANJ

Am suspecting the girl's father
The polices screwed up. The average minutes for sex if we are to go by the one minute man theory is 2minutes per individual the probability of 5men not having the onbe minute man syndrome is 20percent in essence they spent close to 1hr committing this crime or 45mins top d girls dad should be locked up he did not stand his ground he is a coward he woud have done something at least talk the boys out.if dat failed he would have stood his ground instead hour chickened out and left his daughter to the wolves wen he existed d park he would hav ran like mad to a pay phone to call d cops he didn't run and besides didn't he have a cell phone. You don't come at me with a gun at night and think yu can get two shots off at me. I rather die than see my daughter dis honored. Its death before dis honor I av seen men fight armed robbers dat tried raping their wife dis father disgust me.
wicked boys
