Serial Sexual Attacker Menaces Brooklyn, Assaults 3 Women: NYPD

BROOKLYN, NY — A serial sex attacker is on the loose in Brooklyn, police said.

An as-yet-unidentified man is linked to three separate assaults against women walking on the streets or taking the subway last week, NYPD officials said.

One woman, 22, who fell asleep on an R train early Oct. 6 woke up to see the man standing over her with his penis exposed, authorities said. She then realized he had ejaculated on her, police said.

The attacker ran from the 25th Street Station in Sunset Park about 4 a.m., while the woman reported the incident to police and was taken to NYU Langone Hospital-Brooklyn for evaluation, authorities said.

The assault is the most recent attack linked to the man.

Police said he first struck Oct. 4 in Park Slope as a woman, 27, walked on St. Johns Place. The man sexually abused the woman before running off, officials said.

Roughly an hour-and-a-half later, the man walked behind a 30-year-old woman who was walking near Wyckoff Street and Court Street about 11:30 p.m. and grabbed her breast and buttocks, police said.

NYPD officials early Wednesday released photos and video of the suspected attacker after they linked the Park Slope incident to the other assaults.
