Police have now identified a suspect in the horrific attack that put a woman in hospital after she was strangled with a belt in public… and they’ve released photos to help find him.
The NYPD has shared photos taken from security cameras of the man they believe is responsible for this crime… who appears to be wearing a similar outfit to the OG video – with a durag on his head, looking very close to the white cloth that the attacker used it to cover his face.
In the photos, the suspect is wearing a GAP sweater and white sweatpants. He’s about 5-foot-9, according to police, and had a backpack with him… just like the attacker in the video.
As we reported… cops say the attack occurred in the Bronx last week at approximately 3 am. The video shows a man sneaking up on the woman before throwing a belt over the head and dragging her between two cars where police say he sexually assaulted her.
Police attended the scene and the woman was transported to hospital. She survived the terrible ordeal. In fact, our police sources say this woman was raped.
Police are asking anyone with information to call 1-800-577-TIPS.
