A Bronx mom is accusing her NYCHA neighbor of terrorizing her and destroying her door with a hammer.
The victim has asked to remain anonymous out of fear for her life.
The mother says she has lived at a Bronx NYCHA apartment for years, and says she’s never had any problems - until Nigera McCassling (also known as Nigera Postell) moved in.
In Ring camera video shared exclusively with News 12, a woman is seen screaming and smashing the victim’s door with a hammer and a bat.
The alleged victim told News 12 other neighbors have had problems with this resident, too. However, she says she has no idea why McCassling is now targeting her.
McCassling is facing several charges for harassment and criminal possession of a weapon for the incident.
However, the charges she is facing are not eligible for bail, meaning legally, she had to be “released on her own recognizance.” The complainant says McCassling has been allowed back in the building.
NYCHA told News 12 in an email that the agency is “committed to working with the resident in a manner that is consistent with its occupancy requirements.”
Due to occupancy requirements, the alleged victim would have to downsize from the two-bedroom apartment she’s lived in for over a decade to a one-bedroom apartment because her son is under the age of 6. News 12 is inquiring if the agency would consider an exception under the current circumstances.
McCassling is due back in court on May 8. The Bronx district attorney told News 12 a victim’s advocate would be in touch with the mother. The Legal Aid Society, which is representing McCassling, said it declined to comment.
