The New York Police Department is actively searching for a suspect wanted for the attempted rape of an 83-year-old woman in her Upper Manhattan apartment. The incident occurred on Monday morning, just before 9 a.m., near the intersection of Vermilyea Avenue and West 204th Street. According to police reports, the suspect followed the elderly victim into her residential building. As the woman entered her apartment, the man followed her inside, exposed himself, and made sexual advances while attempting to force his way into her home. The victim was able to fend off the assailant following a slight struggle, after which the suspect fled the scene on foot. The woman sustained minor injuries and was treated by emergency medical services at the scene. Authorities have released surveillance footage of the suspect, describing him as a bearded man wearing boots, black pants, a black jacket, and a black do-rag. Police are urging the public to review the released video and come forward with any information that could help locate the suspect. Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The investigation is ongoing, and the suspect remains at large.
