Police in Brooklyn are on the hunt for the violent creep who sexually assaulted and robbed a woman inside a store earlier this week.
The NYPD released video Tuesday night of the male suspect behind the heinous attack that occurred in the area of Myrtle and Lewis Avenues in Bedford-Stuyvesant at about 12:50 a.m. on March 22.
Law enforcement sources said the perpetrator approached the victim, a 50-year-old woman, and engaged her in conversation, during which he made sexual advances.
When the victim refused, authorities reported, the suspect went on the attack and engaged her in a physical struggle. Seconds later, he sexually assaulted the victim.
The perpetrator then took the victim’s jewelry, credit cards, cellphone and $300 in cash, then exited the store and fled in an unknown direction.
The incident was reported to the 81st Precinct. Police said the victim was brought via private means to NewYork-Presbyterian Queens hospital, where she was listed in stable condition.
Cops said the suspect was last seen wearing a gray sweatshirt over a white t-shirt, along with blue jeans and white sneakers.
