NYPD Releases New Photos Of Suspect In Attempted Rape In Bronx Stairwell
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- The NYPD has released new photos of a man they say tried to rape a woman in the stairwell of an apartment building in the Bronx.
According to police, the 33-year-old victim was attacked in the Fordham Manor section around 7 p.m. on Jan. 8.
The alleged attacker grabbed the woman from behind and began to unzip his pants, police said. But the woman bit his hand before the encounter escalated any further, and he fled the scene.

The man is likely 20 to 30 years old and was last seen wearing a black winter hat, black jacket, black pants with a white stripe on each side and black shoes.
