A MEDIA guest has opened up about a terrifying encounter just steps away from the Fox News studio that left her shaken and reluctant to return to New York City.

The scare unfolded last September, as conservative commentator Hannah Cox left a Fox appearance in Times Square.

Cox, who is known for her online series Based and work in criminal justice reform, says she was nearly attacked by a “violent psychopath.”

The incident happened “just feet” from the network’s Manhattan headquarters, she revealed in a recent social media post.

“When I was in Times Square leaving a Fox hit I was almost attacked by a violent psychopath,” she posted on X.

“I’ve been scared to go back to NYC ever since,” she added.

But she says she finally returned to face her fears.

“Anyways. Facing my fears today because I finally missed my Fox peeps more than I fear the streets,” she wrote.

“So tune into Mornings with Maria tomorrow on @FoxBusiness from 6-9 am and support my bravery!” Cox added.

Cox did not share further details about the would-be attack or whether it was reported to police.

Her post comes amid rising concerns about public safety in some major US cities, including New York.

WHO IS HANNAH COX?

Cox has made multiple appearances on Fox programs, including Fox Across America With Jimmy Failla.

She has also contributed to Newsmax, The Washington Examiner, and the Foundation for Economic Education.

Her work largely centers on limited government, free markets, and ending the death penalty.

Cox serves as Senior National Manager for Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, a nonprofit pushing for policy reforms in how society responds to violent crime.

IS NYC SAFE?

Earlier this month, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) announced “historic” crime reductions in the first few months of 2025.

They said that murders were down 34% with 63 killings reported – the second-lowest number of murders in NYC history.

Major crimes committed on the subway are also down 18.1% – the second-lowest level in nearly three decades.

There were also no murders on the subway for the first time in seven years.

But just because statistics show that crime is down, doesn’t mean that New Yorkers feel safe – especially when they see headlines about subway crimes or TikTok videos about women being attacked on the street.

Last spring, an MTA survey found that 45% of subway riders felt safe on the trains – down from the 54% who felt safe on the subway in the fall of 2023.

Simmone Leslie, 35, told the New York Post last November that she “avoids riding the subway by any means necessary” over concerns for her safety.

“END OF THE ERA OF CHAMPIONS”: John Riel Casimero Claims the Whole World Saw Him Defeat Naoya Inoue After 10 Rounds in the Ring — The King Cried

Tokyo, May 3, 2025 — In one of the most talked-about showdowns in modern boxing, Filipino warrior John Riel Casimero shook the boxing world to its core by defeating Japanese legend Naoya Inoue in a dramatic 10-round battle that left fans stunned — and saw the once-unstoppable champion in tears.

Dubbed the “War of Warriors,” the highly anticipated bout between Casimero and Inoue delivered an explosive fight full of emotion, blood, and controversy. After 10 brutal rounds, the judges awarded Casimero the unanimous decision victory — a moment that signaled what he boldly called the “End of the Era of Champions.”

Standing tall in the center of the ring with blood still on his gloves and adrenaline in his voice, Casimero declared:
“The whole world saw it. I beat him. The king cried.”

And he wasn’t exaggerating. Cameras captured the rare image of Inoue, overcome with emotion, wiping away tears moments after the final bell. It was a scene that stunned fans — a vulnerable and painful ending for a fighter long seen as invincible.

Casimero’s relentless pressure and unpredictable angles kept Inoue on the defensive for much of the fight. While Inoue landed sharp counters and had his moments, Casimero’s volume, stamina, and sheer aggression swayed the judges and dominated the narrative.

Social media exploded within minutes of the decision, with fans worldwide praising Casimero for his grit and guts — while others called for an immediate rematch to settle the debate once and for all.

Inoue, ever the sportsman, addressed the crowd through tears:
“I gave everything. I’m sorry to my fans. I will come back stronger.”

But for Casimero, the victory was more than just a win — it was a mission fulfilled.

“People doubted me. They said I couldn’t do it. But I trained for this moment. I told you I would break the monster. And tonight, the monster fell.”

With this victory, Casimero has skyrocketed into the global boxing elite and may have set the stage for a second act as the sport’s new king. Meanwhile, Inoue faces the most critical moment of his storied career — a test of whether legends rise again after they fall.
