A Jersey City man is accused of stashing a prostitute he met at a Secaucus hotel Sunday evening after a disagreement about payment. Police say that when Ravuri was asked to leave the hotel room, he brandished a knife and demanded his money back. They say a struggle ensued and the woman was sliced on her finger and buttocks. Ravuri allegedly tried to prevent the woman from leaving the room, but she was able to escape and called for help.
She was treated for her injuries at the scene. Police say Ravuri was found in the hotel lobby with blood on his jacket and foot. He also allegedly had the bloody knife on him. Prostitutes are frequently victims themselves of physical and sexual assaults and robbery.
