Union Square Rapist

Police Search for Rapist Targeting Women at Union Square

The NY Post reports that police are “hunting for a serial rapist who prowls Manhattan’s Union Square subway station for young Asian women to follow home and brutally attack.” Two women were raped in their building vestibules, while the suspect “has attempted to assault two others since Oct. 1.” His M.O: Waiting for women to unlock their apartment building’s door and then he “pounces from behind - choking his victims unconscious before” attacking them (following victims into their buildings is a very common M.O.). Chillingly, three of the attacks occurred on one day: October 20. Police, who believe there may be more victims, tell the Post the suspect is 6 feet tall, 170 pounds, and in his late 20s.
