Police Search for Attempted Soho Rapist
Police are looking for a man who tried to rape a woman entering her Sullivan Street apartment on Sunday morning. According to WABC 7, after the woman "opened the door to her apartment...the suspect forced his way in, pushed her onto the bed and began to choke her."
He allegedly said he would rape her, but a neighbor who heard her cries rushed in and the suspect escaped. The suspect's image was captured on a surveillance camera (there is also video) and the police are accepting tips at Crimestoppers--(800) 577-TIPS.
The number of rapes in the 1st Precinct has "tripled this year compared with the same period in 2007," which translates to 6 this year, versus 2 last year. The Post adds that this attack as well as one at Fulton and William Streets (a Pace University student was molested; she saw her attacker later and told security guards), were not included.

Where's Al Sharpton?
Is tha RZA from Wu-Tang? why RZA why? you was my dawg.
Another black guy. Another crime took place.
Did the suspect escape by grabbing his ski poles and shushing down the stairwell?
they should cut him away from his penis. this way they'll be punish separately.
Hey! Isn't posting that picture racial profiling?
I heard he also shot a dog when he was 10 - that'll rile the public!
With that jacket he should be fairly easy to spot.
Are you sure the perp is black?
Come on guy, if you want to be a rapist you have to avert your face from cameras. Dummy.
get that mf'er good.
um....most of you guys are dumb f*cks...
zstone is right. Wheres the ski mask?
Dude your doing it wrong!
death by firing squad.
Maybe he was a wayward Fresh Direct driver?
I'm sure he didn't do it and is being framed.
Yeah this is racial profiling! They should just say "New Yorkers, a 5'8" male in a blue jacket attempted to rape a woman; if you have seen this person, please notify the police."
did he take out his man bat and tried to spear her?
ow ow.
That looks like GZA from Wu-Tang clan.

Well, of course they weren't included--they're sexual assaults or attempted rapes, not actual rapes.
rapes, attempted rapes, sexual assaults - it's all crime.
i wonder if this is the same guy that raped the woman last night on the same block (prince and sullivan)
