She was heading home after work on Aug. 31 around 2 p.m. She was walking down the stairs to catch the 4 train when the man walking up the stairs grabbed her behind.
"I felt the rage coming from my stomach, I was like what did he just do to me? Did he really just touch me like that and he didn't even care, just walked off like it was nothing," Castanon explained.
"Really quickly it happened but he just like grabbed my whole buttocks," she added.
Surveillance video captured her reaction, running after the man and hitting him several times.
"I was just like you know what? You're not touching me like that and getting away with it," Castanon declared.
