Man who beat 100 pound woman into a coma over a New York parking space apologises but claims she threw the first punch

A father-of-two accused of punching a woman so hard in a dispute over a parking space that she is still in a coma is claiming that she threw the first punch, and that he was acting in self-defence.

The altercation took place on February 25 when 4ft 11in, 100 pound Lana Rosas, 25, was standing in the space she was saving for her boyfriend on 14th street in New York’s East Village and refused to let 35-year-old, 150-pound Oscar Fuller park there.

The argument that followed left Rosas lying in the street unconscious with blood pouring from her mouth. She has been in a coma at Bellevue Hospital ever since the February 25 incident.

Fuller, an electrician from Queens, apologised to Rosas and her family today, but says that he it was Rosas that struck him first.

‘She hit first. And just like we know, there’s camera’s everywhere inside New York City,' he said from the court house steps today after he was released on $100,000 bail.

The grand jury indicted him yesterday on one count of felony assault in the second degree.

‘Towards her family I am very, very sorry for the situation that she’s going through right now, and I’m hoping for a speedy recovery, Fuller added.

‘It crushes my life as well that when nobody would think anything would happen, that it would go this far,’ he said.

Fuller sped off after knocking Rosas down, but witnesses were able to take down his number plate. He was arrested and charged on felony assault charges Tuesday night. He says that he attended a birthday party after the incident

'I wish I just let her hit me. It was out of reflex, just a reaction that went the wrong way,' Fuller told the New York Daily News.

Manhattan prosecutors said in court papers that Fuller hit Rosas ‘with so much force that the woman flew off of her feet, was knocked unconscious and hit her head on the ground.’

Paramedics at the scene near the Stuyvesant Town residential development were careful not to move her, affixing a neck brace to avoid possible paralysis.

Rosas was meeting her boyfriend Joseph Oliver for dinner and was holding a parking space when Fuller approached in his Plymouth Voyager.

According to Fuller’s lawyers, he did punch the woman in the face, but only after she hit him in the eye first, followed by several more blows.

Fuller claims he was polite at first but when Oliver, who was across the street and preparing to make a U-turn, jumped out of his car and ran toward him, the suspect punched Rosas in the face.

His lawyer Thomas Kenniff explained: ‘My client acted on instinct. He didn’t act on intent. We punish intent and foreseeable acts.’

Police records show Fuller has previous arrests for assault and drug possession.

Fuller is due back in court on April 7.

Now check out his picture with his attorney

I'm sure I'll get flamed for this, but I'll say it anyway. The thug claims that she threw the first punch. I have no way of knowing if this is true or not, but it might be. Now, I'm not going to condone what the thug did, but I have noted a disturbing trend of women thinking they can get away with violence just because they are women. If you are a 100 lb woman, you can punch 100 different men and 99 of them will not beat the hell out of you. But that one guy doesn't know or care about chivalry. Is it right for him to put a woman in a coma when she posed no legitimate threat to his health? NO, but if you're in a coma, right or wrong doesn't matter. Please use your head and don't instigate violence against someone twice your size and 4 times your strength.

who stands in a parking space???

not only was it DUMB...but it also shows her frame of mind...

if she was bold enough to commander a parking space with her body, all 100lbs of her, she was bold enough to be the aggressor...

he was forced to defend himself against a maniac...

too bad...

Don`t underestimate 4ft 11in, 100 pound Lana Rosas, 25. I`ve seen plenty of female gymnasts and ice skaters of that size who could inflict serious damage. Regardless, no self-rspecting man would ever return a punch from a lady. Had she tried to stab him, that would be another matter.
If I was in Leroy`s situation I would try to calm her down with some choice language, if this didn`t help I would walk away, I ain`t fighting unarmed women,period.

Exactly, walk away from crazy women. Nothing good can come of it.

I had a car almost crash into me trying to pass, this was in a bad neighborhood. The car skidded to a stop, tinted windows so I couldn't see who was inside. I stopped but gave myself plenty of room to turn, an out. At the time I thought a bunch of gang bangers were going to jump out of the car..nope, out popped a small woman flailing her arms screaming at me. As I drove around her shaking my head...she was threatening me. She followed me for several miles right on my ass flashing her lights.

Violence is never justified, but horseshoe is right on the money. You never know who you are dealing with. People often act on emotions, and emotions alone.

Is there some way that women who want equal treatment can distinguish themselves from women who understand that they are different from men and have different roles in life?

Book, I`m the last guy to put women on a pedestal. There are treacherous bitches who need to be not slapped but killed. Even in that situation (say you are a perfect husband and your wife cheats on you and then threatens to accuse you of abusing her) the best thing is to walk away, even if you are going to put out a contract on her later that night. Getting into a physical fight with a woman is always a losing situation for you,both legally and morally.

I grew up in a violent society and after having been in many fights I`m careful in my application of force. The worst thing I`ve ever done to a woman is throw a drink in her face from my glass (not the glass itself).

Like Icke said: "this is a POS, walk away."

A couple of thoughts on this. It takes a couple of real dumbasses to fight over a parking space to begin with. I would never get out of my vehicle and confront a woman over a parking space and I would hope my daughters have been taught better. My wife would never have done this.

I agree that if a woman punches a man, she has stepped in to a man's shoes. Having said that if my daughter or wife ever get it into their heads to confront a man and that man leaves them in a fricking coma, I swear right or wrong that SOB will pay. Some how some way. Bank it.

There are degrees. A slap, a push and even a punch may be necessary to get a crazy woman off of you but if you leave one of mine in a coma....

This dude left that gal in a coma. A coma y'all. He's a punk who punched out the girl and left before the boyfriend could get there. Why didn't he just drag her knocked out ass out of the way and park? Because he's a punk who wanted no part of the bf. He hauled it out of there because he knew he had done wrong.

Teach your daughters not to confront an emotional and aggressive male. Fight out of necessity only. Pepper spray if you can. Cap his ass if you have to. Don't get knocked into a coma.

I`ll play a devil`s advocate. Was her punching you absolutely unexpected and sudden as if she suddenly went nuts? Was she a relaxed drunk when you received her into your custody or you saw it coming a bit? The reason I`m asking is: if this was a true unexpected combat situation, you have a good excuse. Leroy here had a few seconds of watching the situation escalate, he could have blocked her punch or evaded it altogether. Can you say in all honesty that you were looking the other way and that psychotic bitch just assaulted you with the intent to cause as much damage as she could? Were you also a bit drunk and unable to engage her properly?

[General of Darkness]

Let me point something out.

Police records show Fuller has previous arrests for assault and drug possession.

Now I've personally been in a few fights in my time, been asked to leave bars etc, but never charged with assault, and the only reason why, is I wasn't caught and I knew that when the man was beat, to stop. It's like getting caught for drunk driving. They say the average is that you have to drive drunk something like 700 times before you get caught. Who knows how many other people he assaulted before his other convictions, and this is just HIS word, THE CONVICT, against a 100 pound woman.

You see, your situation is entirely different from Leroy`s. You were acting as a sort of cop already since you had to escort her from the building,you couldn`t just extract yourself from this situation and walk away, unlike Leroy. But...when you threw her down the stairs she could`ve died.
When you have a belligerent drunk woman it`s better to have 2 guys escort her from a building, each holds one of her hands and nobody gets hurt.

I don't know, in a different era I'd never even consider hitting a woman. Now, with the whole world turned around; I'd have to take it on a case-by-case basis.

Women wanted their equal rights; well, be care for what you wish for.

[Awoke]

I more or less just posted my story because I saw someone say "no self respecting man would hit a woman under any circumstances" or something to that effect. I don't agree.
Situations can be dynamic, and it is too broad of a brush to just say that any man who hits a woman is a loser, etc.

Another time I had a drug addict woman attack me with a knife. I threw her down a set of stairs too. Then I at on her until the cops came.
As an afterthought, it's strange how I have only ever had two occurrences where I was forced to defend myself from a woman, and there was a set of stairs right there both times...

???

Anyways, take it for what it is. I'm not a chauvinist or a misogynist or anything of that nature, but I will defend myself from assault no matter what the sex is that is attacking.

I still stand by what I said.I also said unarmed women. A psychopath seizes to be a woman,the same way as a male psychopath is not a man, so in my book you haven`t hit a woman. A psychopath is armed with his/her insanity.
Here in NYC female homeless schizo crackheads say:"Please help me, I am a homeless female". They know the score.
Still it`s better to walk or run away from them bitches, it can be very difficult to prove both in court and among your friends you were right to continue to engage a female in hand-to-hand combat. I understand that because you were in a closed space you acted on sheer instinct but you still could`ve ran back to whatever gathering you left inside and left the bitch to punch someone else. It was a very shitty situation,bro...

Man Who Put Woman in Coma Over Parking Spot Speaks

I only hit the girl one time," says the man accused of punching a woman so hard that she fell backwards on her head and went into a coma during a fight over a parking space. Oscar Fuller, a 35-year-old Queens electrician with prior arrests for weapons possession and felony assault, was talking to the press this weekend after finally getting out of jail. He's charged with felony assault for punching Lana Rosas during the February 25th dispute, and though he doesn't deny punching her, he claims it was just a reflex because Rosas was attacking him.

Rosas was standing in a parking space on East 14th Street in order to save the spot for her boyfriend around 11 p.m. that night when Fuller pulled up in his white minivan. When she refused to yield the spot, words were exchanged. Fuller claims that when he got out of his vehicle, "Bang, bang, bang, bang, she’s just hitting me, hitting me, and I’m like ‘whoa, whoa.’ So I hit the girl, jump back in my car and pull off. I did not know, in no form or fashion, that she was physically hurt like this." He was arrested the Tuesday after the fight when police traced his license plate using surveillance video. Fuller's lawyer claims this same video will show that his client was acting in self-defense.

"She began hitting me in the face," Fuller tells the Daily News. "It threw me off. It just puzzled me. She hit me like four or five times." After the fight, he went to a friend's birthday party. Meanwhile, Rosas, a petite, 100 pound 25-year-old, was clinging to life. Her skull had to be opened to relieve pressure on her brain, and CBS2 reports that Rosas might die, stay in a coma or have permanent brain damage. "As a man, as a person who believes in God, I would not want to take a person's life," Fuller adds, and tells CBS2, "They’re saying I’m some big guy - I’m only 5’7”…I weigh 150."
