BROOKLYN: The NYPD is on the hunt for the robber who violently attacked a woman in Crown Heights and then returned to sexually assault her.
The 54-year-old victim was walking home along St. Mark’s Avenue at about 2 a.m. on Friday when she was approached by the suspect who pulled up alongside her in a dark-colored SUV and asked if she needed a ride, according to police.
The victim refused, and the suspect got out of the SUV, struck her in the stomach, and grabbed her purse which contained a cell phone and personal documents.
