The New York City Police Department (NYPD) is searching for a man suspected of attempting to rape an 83-year-old woman in the Inwood neighborhood of Manhattan. The woman managed to get away in time and reach her apartment, and the suspect left the scene.
The incident occurred Monday at about 8:55 a.m. in a residential building near the intersection of Vermilyea Avenue and West 204th Street. According to the NYPD, the man followed the 83-year-old and then entered the building where she lives. He then allegedly exposed himself to the woman and engaged in sexual conduct toward her. The victim was able to take refuge in her own apartment before the attacker could go further. The suspect eventually left the building and fled.
Police have released an image of the wanted man and asked residents for help in identifying him. No detailed information was provided about the victim’s injuries or any additional circumstances of the incident. The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information about the suspect can contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), through the website crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or through the app.
