The New York Police Department is actively seeking information about a man accused of a brutal assault in the Bronx earlier this month. A 25-year-old woman fell victim to the attack that took place near East 212th Street and Paulding Avenue. As reported by PIX11, the man allegedly began a conversation with the woman around 4 a.m. on September 13, before suddenly grabbing her, pulling her to the ground, and forcefully raping her.
In detail described by authorities and shared on NYPD Crimestoppers' Facebook page, the suspect is reported to have engaged the woman in conversation, which quickly escalated to violence. After committing the act, he is said to have fled south towards Paulding Avenue, leaving the woman to seek medical help. She was later taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
The NYPD has issued a description of the alleged perpetrator—a man seen wearing a blue jacket, a black hoodie, black pants, and black sneakers. In their dedicated effort to find the suspect, they are turning to the community for assistance. The authorities are encouraging anyone with information to come forward, providing an avenue for tips through a DM to @nypdtips on social media or by calling the Crimestoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
