Have you seen this man? If so, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). (via)

Police are searching for a man who entered a Bushwick apartment Saturday night and raped a 24-year-old woman who was asleep in her bed… which took place inside a residential building near the intersection of Halsey Street and Central Avenue around 10:30 p.m. on October 14th.

The woman, whose name was not released, “was asleep in her bed when an unknown individual did enter her apartment and sexually assaulted her,” according to a release from the NYPD. She managed to push the man off, and he subsequently fled. She was later transported to Woodhull Hospital, where she was subsequently treated and released.

An NYPD spokeswoman told Gothamist the victim did not know the suspect; a police source told DNAinfo the man entered through an unlocked front door.
