Police: Woman raped at gunpoint near Prospect Park
Cops are hunting for the sicko who raped a 59-year-old woman at gunpoint near the #ProspectPark Parade Ground on Sunday.
The victim told police the villain grabbed her on Parkside Avenue near Parade Place at 4 am, warning her he was armed with a knife and a gun.
The criminal then shoved the woman against a parked van before dragging her behind a bench, where he raped her, cops said.
Following the rape, the man smashed a window of the van and then entered it with the victim, whom he unsuccessfully tried to sexually assault again while inside, according to authorities, who said the guy stole $10 from the woman’s purse and fled after his failed second attempt.
Cops described the suspect as between 25- and 35-years-old and between 5-foot-10-inches and 6-feet tall.
