Baby Faced Wanna-Be Rapist Sought by NYPD

By Dan Gesslein

BRONX, NEW YORK (BRONX NEWS)- Police released video of a baby-faced suspect they said choked out and almost raped a woman in Morris Heights.

Cops say a 27-year-old woman was attacked at around 11:30 on September 16. The suspect followed behind the woman as she entered her apartment on Andrews Avenue. When they reached the fourth floor landing, the suspect pounced. He choked the woman to the ground and kissed her on the lips. He then began fondling the victim over her clothing and pulled her hair. The attacker then fled.

Police released video from a nearby super market and the image is unnerving. The suspect’s frame and demeanor makes him appear to be a young teenager. Cops say the would-be rapist is between the ages of 14 and 20. He is 5 foot 7 with a medium build and a Caesar haircut. He was last seen wearing a red t-shirt, black shorts with a white stripe, and black Nike sneakers with a white Nike symbol.

Anyone with information is urged to call CRIMESTOPPERS at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls are confidential.
