UES Woman Wakes To Intruder Licking Her Face, Police Say

UPPER EAST SIDE, NY — The NYPD is trying to identify a creep who broke into a woman's Upper East Side home and licked her face while she slept, police said.

A 28-year-old woman was startled awake on Sunday morning to find an unknown man licking and kissing her face, police said. The woman confronted the man — who broke into her East 65th Street and First Avenue home through an unlocked door — and forced him to leave her apartment, police said.

Police released a photo of the suspect Wednesday and described the man as balding, with a beard and mustache who was last seen wearing a dark colored jacket and blue jeans.

The woman was not physically injured during the bizarre attack, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
