The young woman who spotted a wanted child rape suspect revealed that she grabbed him by the neck and threw him to the ground before police arrived to arrest him.
Sixty New York detectives were searching for illegal immigrant Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi after he was named as the main suspect in the machete-point rape of a 13-year-old girl outside her high school on Thursday.
But he wasn’t arrested until Tuesday after Angela Sauretti, 23, recognized him from a police wanted poster she had seen on Instagram and pointed him out to a friend.
“He tried to run away, so I put him in a headlock,” he said. The daily beast.
“He has something that his mother should have done to him,” he added. “I’ll put it that way.”
Angela Sauretti, 23, revealed how she saw and then approached the alleged rapist.
Illegal immigrant Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi, 25, was tied to a light pole and detained by an angry mob until police arrived after being recognized by Sauretti in an appeal by the New York Police Department.
The teenager had been playing soccer with a 13-year-old schoolmate in a Queen’s park when Inga approached them about 3:30 p.m., police said.
He threatened them with a “large machete-style knife” before forcing them to a secluded area and tying their wrists with a shoelace.
He then raped the girl, stole their cell phones and fled.
The attack horrified the city, but the trail went cold until the early hours of Tuesday morning, when Sauretti spotted the hooded figure entering a grocery store less than a mile to the west.
“I pointed it out,” Sauretti said. “I said, ‘Is that him?’ He said, ‘Yeah, that’s him.’ ‘That’s what confirmed it. And it just spiraled from there.’
Footage of his capture went viral on Tuesday, showing Inga-Landi hiding under a car and surrounded by angry residents before being tied to a post as police rushed to the scene.
A woman, believed to be Sauretti, was recorded roaring “I beat him up,” before explaining Tuesday how she was determined to convince the alleged rapist that his fall had come at the hands of a woman.
“As a woman, I had to set the tone and remind her, ‘It wasn’t a man who did this to you.’ It was a woman,” the aspiring radiologist explained.
‘You did that to a woman, and a woman came back and did this to you.
Inga was seen on Tuesday being taken from police custody to be taken to court to face charges.
Witnesses said Inga-Landi tried to flee before police arrived, but was tied to the lamppost with a belt.
One image showed the shirtless suspect being led away by police wearing only one shoe after the fight with a group of locals.
“So it made him contemplate, ‘Maybe I won’t mess with the next woman.'” Because you never know. There are those who are kind and there are those who will really stand up for themselves and do everything they can.
‘He said, ‘Let me explain!’ I say, ‘There’s nothing to explain.’ you are a rapist ‘You raped a girl,’ he said, ‘I don’t care.’
‘That’s why we put our hands and feet on him. I do not regret at all.’
By then, more had joined in the attempt to restrain him, including Isabel Caizado, 67, who kicked him before taking off one of her shoes to hit him with it.
The man’s hoodie and T-shirt came off as he struggled to escape, revealing a tattoo on his chest that Sauretti recognized upon appeal to the NYPD.
“That’s what made us try even harder,” Sauretti said.
Inga-Landi crossed the southern border at Eagle Pass, Texas, in 2021, and Daniel Ramos, who assisted in his capture, said he heard him an hour earlier and revealed that he planned to board a plane to his native Ecuador that same morning.
Police arrested him and took him from the 112th Precinct police station Tuesday morning to court, where he faces multiple charges of rape, kidnapping and sexual abuse.
Police said Christian Geovanny Inga-Landi approached the girl and a 13-year-old boy in Kissena Corridor Park while brandishing a machete.
The attack took place on Thursday about five kilometers from Citi Field stadium, in the victim’s school neighborhood.
Sauretti, the daughter of a school traffic warden, might be in line for the $10,000 reward offered for Inga-Landi’s capture, but she says that wasn’t on her mind as she restrained the burly suspect.
“I would have done it even if it wasn’t a reward, because at the end of the day, I feel like that’s the right thing to do,” he said.
‘I have structure. I have limits. I know what my situation is, what I like, what I don’t like, what I want to do and what I don’t want to do.
‘No one can pressure me. “No one can tell me what to do.”
