A young woman who narrowly escaped being raped by a man inside a Queens subway station said she is always looking over her shoulder since the terrifying assault left her battered and bruised.
“Now, I’m always looking behind me,” the 21-year-old victim named Jamileth said in a new interview with ABC 7 Eyewitness News. “I can’t walk calmly. I always think that someone is following. I don’t know what to do. I feel terrible.”

Her attacker remains at large more than a month after the Feb. 24 attack — which has left her living in constant fear.
Jamileth was taking an F train home at around midnight after finishing her night shift cleaning offices when she rested her eyes while sitting in the subway car.
When she opened them, she saw a man staring at her, she told the news station.
