Last month, we reported that former Ghostbusters star Rick Moranis was viciously assaulted in New York City in a random attack. On Saturday, a suspect who has been identified as 35 year-old Marquis Ventura was finally arrested for carrying out this horrific attack.

Now, a woman who was previously assaulted by Ventura has broken her silence to talk about what he did to her. Almost six months before the attack on Moranis, Ventura was charged in an even more violent and unprovoked assault on a subway in the Bronx.

“I could see he was crazy,” the victim in that attack, mom and restaurant manager Ashley Davis, told the New York Post. “I was telling the police — This guy’s not right. This guy’s got a mental illness.'”

Davis, 34, was on a subway train with her husband on April 13 when Ventura, who had been walking between cars, allegedly jumped the couple. Afterwards, Ventura was charged with misdemeanor assault.

“This dude just randomly started beating the crap out of me and my husband,” Davis recounted. “He pulled a knife on my husband. He punched my face. I thought he broke my eye socket and jaw. This guy was just kicking and hitting him. It was crazy. It happened so fast. This guy was just intent on assaulting us.”

“I thought my husband was dying. His shoulder was so badly dislocated it was down to his belly,” she added.

Ventura has filed a counter-claim alleging that Davis and her husband Glenn Smith, 34, attacked him. He is alleging this because Smith picked up the knife that Davis says was dropped by Ventura. Smith has since been charged with misdemeanor menacing with a weapon.

Though prosecutors offered to drop all charges on both sides, Davis was not having any of it.

“I was like no way,” she said. “I want them to throw the book at this guy.”

Davis added that she has had to get psychiatric care after the attack, and that she can no longer even set foot on a subway. As for Moranis, she said, “I feel very, very bad for him.’

“Neither of us should have to go through what we did,” Davis added.
