On the way home, a stranger tries to rape a New York college student

A stranger tried to rape a 19-year-old college student as she was walking home in Brooklyn last week, authorities said.

The teenage girl was walking home from school on Lafayette Avenue in Clinton Hill around 2 a.m. on November 28 when the maniac approached and tried to force her to the ground to rape her, police officers said.

The young woman fought back and ran from her attacker, police said. She refused medical help.

The suspect also fled, according to police – who released surveillance footage late Sunday of the bespectacled pervert walking the sidewalk in a black jacket, blue jeans and headphones.

The police were still looking for him on Monday.

Cops say the attack occurred in the 300 block of Lafayette Avenue, which stretches from Grand Avenue to Classon Avenue.

Authorities would not reveal the name of the college the victim attended.
