Suspect sought in S. Ozone Park rape: NYPD
SOUTH OZONE PARK — Police
were looking for a tattooed man who
they believe recently raped a woman
in South Ozone Park.
According to police, between 12
a.m. and 6 a.m. on Dec. 30, 24-year-old
George Persaud allegedly approached
a 40-year-old woman and displayed
a fake firearm. He then allegedly
forced the woman into a secluded
area where Persaud raped her, police
said.
EMS took the victim to an area
hospital for evaluation.
Sources familiar with the
investigation indicated that there
doesn’t seem to be a connection
between Persaud and the victim, and
that the rape occurred near where the
victim lives.
Persaud is described as having
brown eyes, dark hair with shaved
fade on side, facial hair on face and
chin, standing 5 feet, 4 inches tall and
weighing 150 pounds.
On Jan. 2, the NYPD released
images of Persaud, which included
an image of his chest tattoo that says
“Only The Strong Survive.” He also
has a nautical star on his right hand,
and tattoos on his right knuckles.
Anyone with information in regard
to this incident is asked to call the
NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at
1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish,
1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
The public can also submit their
tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers
