A young woman was raped and robbed on an East Harlem street by a stranger in a teddy bear T-shirt, police said Tuesday.
The 21-year-old victim was approached at E. 111th St. and Second Ave. about 1:40 a.m. Monday, with the attacker first trying to chat her up. She sensed trouble and tried to run off only to be chased, grabbed and raped by the sicko, police said.
He then took off east on E. 111th St. with her bag and cellphone, police said.
Cops released surveillance footage of the suspect and are asking the public’s help identifying him and tracking him down.
He is believed to be in his early 20s and was wearing a black T-shirt with a colorful teddy bear design.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
