A predator raped and robbed a 25-year-old acquaintance after threatening her at knifepoint inside a Bronx lodge late final month, cops and sources mentioned Thursday.
The backpack-wearing creep entered the Lodge OPUS on East 222nd Avenue close to Ely Avenue in Baychester with the sufferer round 9 a.m. Aug. 29, earlier than he all of a sudden flashed a knife and repeatedly demanded that she cooperate, authorities mentioned.
He then grabbed $400 from the lady’s pockets earlier than ordering her to take away her garments and raping her, police mentioned.
The sufferer was taken by EMS staff to Jacobi College Hospital Medical Heart, the place she was listed in secure situation.
By then, the sick attacker had already taken off, heading south on East 222nd Avenue, police mentioned.
It was not instantly clear whether or not the 2 had pre-arranged to fulfill or whether or not he’d adopted her to the lodge.
The NYPD launched a video Thursday exhibiting the still-at-large assailant knocking on the lodge door, and pictures of him leaping a subway turnstile.
He’s described as a person with a darkish complexion, final seen sporting glasses, a white T-shirt, blue denims, white sneakers and carrying a black backpack.
Anybody with data on his whereabouts is requested to name the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
