Cops Say Coney Island Rapist Attacked Another Woman An Hour After First Assault
Cops say the man who raped a 20-year-old woman at gunpoint Sunday in the stairwell of her Coney Island apartment building is also wanted for another attack on the same day.
Within an hour of the sexual assault, which took place at 9pm, police say the creep pulled his gun on a 46-year-old woman who he followed out of an elevator at a building in the Luna Park housing complex. He stole $30 from her purse and fled, according to the NYPD. The woman was unharmed, authorities say.
Police did not release the address where the sexual assault took place or say whether the attacks occurred in the same building. However, the suspect drew a gun on both women after following them out of an elevator. He also stole cash and keys from the rape victim, who was taken to Coney Island Hospital for evaluation, according to the NYPD.
Police released a surveillance photo of the suspect, who is described as a black male, approximately 20-years-old, with black hair, brown eyes and a dark complexion. He was last seen wearing a black & white skull hat, a black leather jacket, gray sweatpants and white sneakers. He was holding a black bag.
A surveillance video of the rape suspect was also released by the NYPD earlier this morning.
