Ryan Lokey I was assaulted and robbed in Brooklyn, NYC. I refuse to stay a victim. This is how I push back.

12/27/2023

I had never planned to go public with my identification.

But the lack of action by the NYPD, along with the escalating threats by my assailant, his employer, and his friends, pushed me to consider the option.

The final straw was when they began releasing my name and other information to other parties in the NYC area, in what I can imagine is an attempt to get me to hide.

The way I see it, I had two options:

Option 1 - I can cower in fear. This would let the NYPD ignore me. My assailant / his friends could continue to threaten and dox me unencumbered and make my life miserable until I finally gave up.

or

Option 2 - I can stand tall and push back. I still may not get justice - in the civil or criminal arenas. Some aspects of my life may get very uncomfortable. But as long as I try everything in my power to tilt the scales of justice in my favor, I can live with the outcomes I can't control.

I choose Option 2.

Hi! I'm Ryan.

I'm a regular blue-collar guy who lives paycheck to paycheck and has struggled since COVID.

I'm a BSA Eagle Scout. I've always strived to do the right thing, even when faced with a bad situation. I've donated what I could to worthy causes. I'm not perfect, and we've all had our struggles. But in general, I try to be a decent citizen and do my part to improve things.

I try to go about my life, do my job, and get home safely at the end of the day.

Then, on 12/18/2023, around 12:55 PM, I was assaulted and robbed while delivering holiday packages on 5th Street, at 5th Avenue, in Brooklyn, New York. The Park Slope neighborhood.

My assailant was a known neighborhood hothead. He regularly threatens people on 5th Street. It sounds like he's attacked other people in the neighborhood. He had threatened other drivers on this route before and threatened drivers from other national carriers. The street is terrified of him.

This was all unknown to me - I hadn't delivered to this route before, and I had no clue this guy existed before 12/18/2023.

Thanks to my assailant, I sustained a moderate concussion, memory loss, neck/spine pain, and other injuries. He broke my glasses, stole my cell phone, and is believed to have taken several of my dropped packages as well.
