Meanwhile, police are still looking for a suspect or suspects wanted in a string of sexual attacks on women in Park Slope.
Friday, investigators released a photo of a jacket they said was similar to what one the suspects may have been wearing.
Police have also increased patrols in Park Slope last week after another woman was sexually assaulted. It was the 11th incident linked to a sexual assault spree prompting a growing sense of fear and frustration.
Surveillance video captured the first attack on March 20th, which took place on 16th Street in Park Slope. The 24-year-old victim was grabbed from behind, but managed to escape.
