Woman raped in violent attack near New York’s Greenwood Cemetery: police officers

A sex fiend raped a 49-year-old woman in a violent attack near Brooklyn’s Greenwood Cemetery over the weekend, police said on Wednesday.

The victim was walking on 27th Street and Fifth Avenue around 3 a.m. Saturday when the stranger approached her and tried to strike up a conversation, police said.

The sick man then pushed the woman to the ground, threatened her and dragged her into a nearby driveway where he raped her, authorities said.

The attacker urged the victim to perform more sexual acts on him and slapped her in the face when she refused, police officers said.

He then ran away, driving east on 27th Street and then north on Fifth Avenue, police said.

The victim was treated for his injuries at a local hospital.

The NYPD released surveillance footage of the suspect early Wednesday, who was not caught.

He is described as having short dark hair and medium build.

He was last seen in a black bubble coat, black shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers.
