Muggings are not considered uncommon in New York City. However, according to the New York City Police Department, In January 2024, there were 1,417 cases of robbery (robbery is classified as robbery, since it consists of taking property from a person through threats, unlike robbery, which requires a break-in). That means that since New York City has a population of over 8 million people, you only have about a 0.01% chance of being mugged in New York City, which makes it seem a bit less common than you might have assumed. However, this only makes it even more tragic that Ray was mugged in New York City not just once, but twice.
Ray said People that, when she worked in Manhattan and lived in Queens in the late 1990s, she was assaulted twice in one week by the same person. The first time, he assaulted her in the hallway of her apartment, causing Ray to pull his mace from her. The second time, the attacker was more forceful and possibly even retaliated, as Ray told People: “She dragged me down the alley and beat me up with her gun.” As a result, Ray returned to the New York Adirondacks, where she began working managing restaurants inside the luxurious Sagamore Resort in Lake George.
