New York teens attacked for rejecting man's advances

NBC News reported that the two girls, who were twin sisters, were attacked after they refused a man who made unwanted advances towards them.

A witness told the media outlet that an argument erupted after the man complimented the girls and told them that he found them to be attractive. When the women rejected his advances, he called them names and left the deli.

However, a few minutes later he returned to the deli and started "banging and kicking on the glass door trying to get in," the witness told NBC News, adding that the deli staff had locked the door for safety purposes.

"The second they opened the door, he ran back into the door and started attacking them,” the witness told NBC.

The twins' grandfather Alphonso Goodson narrated a similar account to the New York Post, saying that the man "walked in and started hitting on her."

But the suspect "took it the wrong way," said Goodson, attacking the girls when they came out of the deli.
