From NY1:
Queens residents recently gathered in Jackson Heights to learn some self-defense.
A self-defense expert showed them how to respond physically and verbally to a possible attack.
City Councilman Daniel Dromm said the event was in response to several incidents in the area.
"We've had a lot of attacks in the neighborhood, particularly among women, sexual assaults, etcetera, but men also. And the event today is going to educate people about what they can do, if they feel that someone's following them, if they feel threatened or if someone in fact actually attacks them."
The class was sponsored by the Center for Anti-Violence Education.
