Rapist Suspected of Seven Attacks in NYC and NJ

Police believe one man is responsible for seven sexual assaults in NYC and NJ over the past year. This past Friday, he grabbed a woman who was leaving the club Cain in Chelsea, and then dropped her off in Elizabeth, NJ, after raping her. This incident occured at 4AM, at West 24th Street and Tenth Avenue; Cain is on West 27th near Tenth. This MO is similar to an incident last Halloween, when a woman leaving Crobar was grabbed into a car and raped. Another woman was attacked last September, when she was walking to work at 5:55AM on West 28th Street. The description of the attacker has been similar in all incidents, as well as NJ attacks: A white or light-skinned Hispanic man in his mid-20s, about 5-feet-6 with a thin build. Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers, (800) 577-TIPS.
