During the attack, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/anna-giaritelli-lauds-trump-for-making-victims-of-dc-crime-feel-seen\/\" title=\"... lauds ... for making victims of DC ... \u2018feel seen\u2019\">homeless man lunged<\/a> at her, leading to a struggle and a daylight sexual assault. Although the attacker was arrested months later, the Metropolitan Police Department&#8217;s online crime statistics omitted his arrest, a fact Giaritelli described as the city &#8220;gaslighting&#8221; her. She expressed frustration and disappointment with the police response and the lack of support from the city, wich eventually led her to move away. The article also notes that under former President Donald Trump&#8217;s invocation of federal control over the D.C. Metropolitan police Department and deployment of the National Guard, crime rates in the district have fallen significantly, with marked decreases in robberies, assaults, vehicle thefts, carjackings, and violent crime overall. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Anna Giaritelli says police response after attack left her &lsquo;infuriated&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2204167\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <em>Washington Examiner<\/em>&rsquo;s homeland security reporter, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/author\/anna-giaritelli\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Anna Giaritelli<\/a>, appeared on <em>the Sean Hannity Show <\/em>Wednesday to recount the aftermath of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3498311\/anna-giaritelli-lauds-trump-making-victims-dc-crime-feel-seen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">attack against her<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, Giaritelli suffered a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/3498311\/anna-giaritelli-lauds-trump-making-victims-dc-crime-feel-seen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">random attack<\/a> outside of Union Station.
