BY ROBERT POZARYCKI
Special victims detectives in
Flatbush are looking for the violent
man they say assaulted and
attempted to rape a young woman
inside an apartment building stairwell
early Saturday morning.
Law enforcement sources said
the suspect attacked the victim at
about 2:42 am on March 27 inside
a residential building in the vicinity
of Beverly Road and Rogers Avenue.
According to police, the creep
followed the 24-year-old woman
from the street into the building
and through the lobby. Once
she got inside the stairwell, cops
said, the brute attacked — punching
her in the face multiple times,
then slamming her head against
the staircase.
While on the stairs, cops said,
the perpetrator proceeded to sexually
assault the woman, causing
her to scream and yell. He then
bolted from the scene in an unknown
direction.
Offi cers from the 67th Precinct
and EMS units responded
to the incident. The victim was
treated at the location for minor
injuries, including lacerations
and pain.
Police have since released a
grainy surveillance camera image
of the suspect, described only
as a Black man.
