Recieved the following email.

I’m Woman Struck with Dart – not sure if it matters or not, but I was walking with my male roommate at the time who gave the description to the police. I didn’t see the culprit. CBS interviewed the woman who said she never walks alone late at night, but clearly this happened regardless.

Obviously I’m still alive, but it was a bit scary and, more so, aggravating that someone was just trying to mar a perfectly great evening in my neighborhood!
