Hi! I live in New Haven, CT. The Mobil gas station on Kimberly Ave has left me with deep injury. On July 31st, 2022. I was assaulted by a man working the overnight shift.

I went to buy a item . Now before I get to the vile assault, I want to tell you that this gas station is a well known prostitution and drug den. In fact, like many drug houses police do nothing, city look the other way. I once saw a man turning a trick with another man. I have complaint but the owner somehow benefits. No upstanding Bussiness owner would allow this type of criminality. The owners excuses are cheap and deeply concerning.

In my vulnerable community women are confronted with discrimination. I am no exception. I face violence, abuse, unequal treatment, disrespect plenty. The psychological distress that this man put me through is criminal and inhuman.

He said to try the item to see if it worked. I responded by saying that I would try it in my car as I felt unsafe.

He proceeded to act with brutalization. He grabbed my hand and pried my hand open took the item and told me I had to do as he said. I was terrified, frankly I went into panic as no one expects to purchase an item and get assaulted. This man also imposed over my free will by not allowing me exit from the store. I had to scream at the top of my lungs to get him to let me out.

The place was full of people. I worried because the crowed seemed tense. We have many shootings and I was scared this would continue to escalate as people kept asking what happened.

I was in absolute shock. The next day I ask police what I needed to do. I also went back and asked for preservation of the camera as the man that assaulted me said “your on camera”. The owner told me it was erased. The owner offers me $100 to not go to police.

The adverse effect has me deep distress, strain, tense around men, and anxious. I deserve justice. Police did nothing.

It is my most sincere desire that this be looked into. No woman should be profiled for brutality!
