A woman was violently attacked and raped Friday afternoon inside a Bronx apartment building. The suspect performed the act after choking her unconscious.
The uniformed said that the violation occurred around 2:30 pm in a building located in Davidson Avenue and West 190th Street on Fordham Manor.
The man allegedly grabbed the 27-year-old woman by the neck and suffocated her until she lost consciousness, police said. He then raped her and fled the area.
Authorities said the woman also suffered cuts to her nose and mouth. She was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Multiple cameras captured footage of the alleged rapist wearing a black hoodie and carrying a red and black backpack.
New York City Police released images of the suspect early Saturday in hopes it would lead to his arrest.
Anyone with information can confidentially call authorities at 1-888-57-PISTA.
