The incident took place around 3:30 a.m. on the double-decker pier [….] The 45-year-old victim was sexually assaulted and then thrown over the balcony of the top level of the pier, which hangs about 25 to 30 feet over a glass pavilion and an outdoor seating area. She suffered a fractured pelvis and a broken femur and was taken to Bellevue Hospital in serious condition, according to cops. Police said it is possible that the victim knew her attacker, although it was not immediately clear how.” —DNAinfo

••• Artinfo reports on the opening party for Temp, the new temporary gallery on Walker: “Standing against the wall nearest to me was a guy clutching his plus one: a stuffed bear, apparently a good-luck token sent by his grandmother. It was Wilson Parry, a Parsons MFA student whose large-scale plexiglas installation, ‘Social Circle,’ was dominating the back half of the gallery. With a straight face, Parry explained that his inspiration for the work—comprised of hanging sheets of painted plexi that viewers could walk through—stemmed from the glitz and glamor of the Boston bar scene.”

••• “The Landmarks Preservation Commission met yesterday for a second time to discuss the alterations for 104-106 South Street, which first appeared before the LPC in July. At that first hearing, the commissioners took issue with a number of the design aspects of the building, specifically the green roofs and the refurbished facades. So how did it go this time? The commissioners liked some of the alterations to the redesign, but still didn’t think the changes did enough to appease preservationists.” —Curbed
