一名女子担心自己的生命安全，因为她据称在纽约市的一所公寓中被扣为人质，她找到了另一种方式来呼救，而不会惊动绑架她的人。
警方告诉美国广播公司纽约站，这名24岁的女子周日被强行关押在布朗克斯区东切斯特区的一所公寓里，此前她在网上遇到的一名男子涉嫌对她进行性侵犯无障碍艺途。
警方称，该女子和嫌疑人在网上认识几个月后第一次见面。据警方称，这场冲突很快演变成暴力冲突，嫌疑人不让这位女士使用手机——除了点餐，该电视台报道。
曼哈顿北部扬克斯的Chipper Truck咖啡馆的员工在周日早上5点左右收到了Grubhub上的一份早餐三明治和一个汉堡的订单，餐馆的老板爱丽丝·贝尔梅霍告诉WABC。虽然订单本身并不罕见，但员工们注意到在附加说明部分有一张匆忙写下的便条，上面写着打电话给警察，让他们带着食物来——警告他们不要做出明显的反应。
“她基本上是说让警察来送货，”贝尔梅霍说。
Bermejo说，她的丈夫接到一名员工的电话，这名员工看到订单出现在屏幕上，问她该怎么办。
Bermejo的丈夫指示该员工遵守指示。
“他说，‘报警吧。不能冒任何风险。安全总比后悔好，”Bermejo说。
纽约市警察局在一份声明中告诉ABC新闻，警方做出了回应，32岁的嫌疑人凯莫伊·罗亚尔被逮捕。警方称，罗亚尔被控强奸、非法监禁、勒死、非法持有武器和性虐待等罪名。
NYPD称，Royal当天还被指控在6月15日试图性侵犯一名26岁的女性。警方没有立即说明为什么罗雅尔没有因该事件被起诉。
Grubhub首席运营官埃里克·弗格森(Eric Ferguson)周三早上联系了Bermejo，并向她提供5000美元投资她的企业，以表彰老板和员工的快速思维，这家食品配送公司的公共关系总监丽莎·贝洛特(Lisa Belot)通过电子邮件告诉美国广播公司新闻。
“每次我们看到这样一个简单而非凡的行为，我们都会惊讶于我们的合作伙伴如何积极地影响他们的社区，”Belot说。“从在恶劣天气下送货的司机，到在食品银行做志愿者的企业员工，再到扬克斯的这些餐厅员工，他们认识到了严重的情况并迅速采取了行动，我们既感激又谦卑，因为Grubhub能够成为这些善良和英雄主义的不可思议的故事的一部分。”
Bermejo说她后来接到了受害者朋友的电话，感谢餐馆对她的帮助。
“直到事情发生后，我们才真正意识到情况的严重性，”贝尔梅霍说
ABC新闻无法立即联系到罗雅尔的律师。
Woman allegedly held hostage in New York City apartment uses Grubhub order to alert police
A woman who feared for her life as she was allegedly being held hostage in a New York City apartment found an alternative way to call for help without alerting her captor.
The 24-year-old woman was being held against her will in an apartment in the Eastchester section of the Bronx on Sunday after a man she met online allegedly sexually assaulted her, police told ABC New York stationWABC.
The woman and the suspect had met in person for the first time months after they connected online, police said. The encounter soon turned violent, according to police, and the suspect would not let the woman have her phone -- except to order food, the station reported.
Employees at the Chipper Truck Café in Yonkers, just north of Manhattan, received an order placed on Grubhub for a breakfast sandwich and a burger around 5 a.m. on Sunday, the restaurant's owner Alice Bermejo told WABC. While the order itself was not unusual, employees noticed a hastily written note in the section for additional instructions, which said to call police and have them come with the food -- cautioning them to not make the response obvious.
"She was basically saying to bring the police with the delivery," Bermejo said.
Bermejo said her husband received a call from one of the employees who saw the order come up on the screen, asking what to do.
Bermejo's husband instructed the employee to follow the instructions.
"He was like, 'Call the police. Can't take any risks. Better safe than sorry,'" Bermejo said.
Police responded and the suspect, 32-year-old Kemoy Royal, was arrested, the New York City Police Department told ABC News in a statement. Royal was charged with rape, unlawful imprisonment, strangulation, criminal possession of a weapon and sexual abuse, among other counts, police said.
Royal was also charged that day with the attempted sexual assault of a 26-year-old woman on June 15, the NYPD said. Police did not immediately say why Royal was not charged earlier for that incident.
Grubhub Chief Operating Officer Eric Ferguson reached out to Bermejo Wednesday morning and offered her $5,000 to invest in her business to recognize the quick-thinking of the owner and employee, Lisa Belot, director of public relations for the food delivery company, told ABC News over email.
"Every time we see a simple but extraordinary act like this, we are amazed by how our partners positively impact their communities," Belot said. "From drivers delivering in difficult weather to our corporate employees volunteering at food banks to these restaurant employees in Yonkers who recognized a serious situation and acted quickly, we're grateful and humbled that Grubhub can be a part of such incredible stories of kindness and heroism."
Bermejo said she later received a phone call from the victim's friend, thanking the restaurant for helping her.
"We really had no idea of the gravity of the situation until after everything had happened," Bermejo
ABC News could not immediately reach an attorney for Royal.
