Person of Interest Sought in Rape

Early Monday morning last week, a rape was committed on Hawthorne Street (at either 2 or 10 Hawthorne Street; we've heard both addresses). The rapist pushed his way into the apartment of a 32 year old resident and committed the assault. He remains at large.

Police have released a video from a surveillance camera with someone that they are calling a "person of interest" — which isn't necessarily a suspect but that is often what the term means. It says something about the resolution of the image that Carrie and I can't agree on whether the suspect is white or black, but it is at least a start.

According to NY1, "Anyone with information about the case is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com."
