Woman Followed Into Manhattan Building, Dragged Out of Elevator in Late-Night Rape: Cops

They have a surveillance image of the guy. Can they really not do better than saying he had a grey shirt on?

Police released surveillance images of the suspect, a man believed to be in his 30's, approximately 5'8" and last seen wearing a black jacket, gray sweatshirt and black pants.

Something tells me he has priors and was released on bail. The usual.

Beyond disgusting. My heart goes out to that poor woman. When they catch that animal, I hope they actually throw him in prison for a long time. But it's NYC, so he'll probably be released on bail. The usual.

In the video it looks like it happened in the projects.

It's pretty amazing that there are projects across the street from Lincoln Center.

ETA: Apparently that area was slums and Robert Moses cleared them in order to build Lincoln Center, but even he couldn't demolish a NYCHA housing project.

What's the over-under on this being a homeless guy with dozens of prior arrests and/​or convictions?

Oh goody, the UWS is getting yet another homeless shelter, right across the street from a school. No background checks on prior convictions, yay!

We love being a dumping ground for shelters while simultaneously being accused of not having any. Love it.

Human ears are not attached very well and can tear off without much effort. Just saying.

We need to bring back public stockades. Lock him up on 42nd street and let the public throw vegetables or bottles at him until he rots.

i guess we can assume hes black since they didnt say his race in the description ?
