The New York City Police Department (NYPD) is looking for a man suspected of raping and robbing a 35-year-old woman in Elmhurst, Queens. The NYPD has released photos of the suspect and asked the public for help identifying him.
The incident took place on July 28 at about 9:55 a.m. at the victim’s residence on 51st Avenue. According to police, the man first approached the woman and then demanded that she perform a “sex act.” When the 35-year-old refused, he allegedly punched her in the face and then sexually assaulted her. After the attack, he took her purse and fled the scene.
Emergency medical services (EMS) were called to the scene. Paramedics treated the woman and took her to a nearby hospital. Police did not provide details about her injuries or her current condition.
Investigators are searching for the perpetrator. They are also asking anyone who may recognize the man in the released photos, or who knows anything about the July incident, to contact the NYPD. Tips can be submitted anonymously through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), on the website crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or through the NYPD Crime Stoppers mobile app.
