Cops seek violent sexual assault suspect

Police are currently looking for the man wanted in connection with two sexual assaults, a robbery and stalking.
The unidentified suspect follows the victims into their buildings, according to cops. Once inside, he allegedly chokes the women until they lose consciousness, then attacks them.
The first incident occurred on October 1 at 50th Avenue and 96th Street; the second was on October 20 at 31st Avenue and 29th Street.
Cops say the perp also followed a 31-year-old woman into the lobby of her building where he demanded money and property and pushed the victim to the floor. That same day, cops say, a 25-year-old woman claims she was approached by a male who attempted to engage her in conversation. She immediately fled into her apartment.
The suspect is described as a male between the ages of 25 and 30, 6’, 170 pounds, wearing a brown hooded sweatshirt.
Anyone with information regarding these assaults is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
