Women in NYC Are Posting TikToks About Getting Punched in the Face on the Street

When Halley Kate, a New York City-based TikToker posted a video on Monday shortly after getting punched in the face by a stranger, at least 12 more young women posted on the social media platform to share similar tales. 

“I was literally like leaving class, I turned the corner, and I was looking down and I was looking at my phone and texting and then out of nowhere this man just came up and hit me in the face,” Mikayla Toninato, a TikTok user who posted about her assault on Tuesday, said in her video.
