Video Released of Brooklyn Rape Suspect, Person of Interest

The New York Police Department has released a video of a man suspected of raping three women in Brooklyn since April 4. 

Police first asked for the public's help over the weekend in identifying the man who raped a woman in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, a woman in Canarsie and a teenage girl in Crown Heights, noting that in each incident, the suspect lured his victims into isolated areas where he then raped them.

According to police, the first incident occurred at approximately 9 p.m. on April 4. The suspect approached a 25-year-old woman near Albany Avenue and Fenimore Street in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, lured her to a parking lot and raped her.

A week later at 8 a.m. on April 11, the man approached a 19-year-old woman near Remsen Avenue and Farragut Road, convinced her to accompany him to a driveway of a private home and raped her. 

Later that day at approximately 8:15 p.m., the man approached a 15-year-old girl inside a building near Midwood Street and Schenectady Avenue, lured her to the 6th floor of the building and raped her. 

The suspect is described as black man in his 20's standing 5-foot-9, weighing between 160 and 180 pounds, wearing a green camouflaged jacket, pants, boots and baseball cap. The baseball cap possibly has a New York Knicks or New York Yankees logo on it. 

The video police have released of the suspect was captured just prior to the third rape. In it, the suspect and an additional person of interest wanted for questioning have a conversation at the B12 bus stop at the intersection of Albany Avenue and Rutland Road.
