Surveillance footage shows the attacker, whose face is covered by a white cloth, secretly following the woman. He suddenly tied her neck with a belt and forcibly pulled her to the ground.

The victim, who was seen struggling to free himself from the belt, was dragged down the sidewalk by the attacker. When the woman appeared to faint, the attacker dragged her between two cars where he raped her unconscious.

The man then fled the scene and is still wanted by police. The survivor was taken to NYC Health & Hospitals/Lincoln for treatment and is in stable condition.

The suspect had reportedly just had a brief conversation with the woman before attacking her.

The NYPD described the man as a man with medium skin tone, 5 feet 9 inches tall, wearing a black sweatshirt with “GAP” written on it in white, white sweatpants and black, red and white sneakers.

The NYPD’s Special Victims Unit is investigating the incident.
