Police are looking for a man believed to be responsible for raping two women in Clinton Hill this month. The suspect—described as being between 25 and 35 years old—reportedly threatened a 42-year-old victim with a gun on Gates Avenue between Classon Avenue and Irving Place at around 5:30 a.m. on March 23. He then allegedly dragged the woman to a vacant lot where he raped and sodomized her.

According to the Brooklyn Paper, a perp who matches the same description pulled out a gun near the corner of Fulton Street and Franklin Avenue on March 16 and forced a 56-year-old woman to walk to a nearby park, where he raped her and struck her in the head with the firearm.

A wanted poster uploaded by Brownstoner indicates the suspect is between 5'8'' and 5'11'' and was last seen wearing a green jacket, dark pants and white sneakers. Police told the Brooklyn Paper the suspect is 6'2'', and was wearing a black hat and a black hooded jacket when he was last spotted. Anyone with information can contact the Brooklyn Special Victims Squad at (718) 230-4418.

    That picture really narrows it down.

    Regardless of whether someone threatens you with a gun- DON'T GO TO AN ABANDONED PARKING LOT WITH THEM. It's better to be shot on a public corner than raped, sodomized and then possibly killed in an abandoned lot. Whatever they do outside the public eye will not be better than what they do to you in a public space.
