A suspected rapist attacked a 10-year-old girl in East Harlem after connecting with her online earlier this month, cops said.
Cops are now hunting for alleged perv, who met his pre-teen victim through an unspecified “online application,” police said
The two met up at Third Avenue and East 122nd Street around 9 p.m. Jan. 6, where he allegedly raped the young victim, authorities said.
He fled on foot and had not been caught by Wednesday.
Photos released by the NYPD show the bearded suspect wearing a dark-colored Nautica hoodie, gray sweatpants and black cap inside what appears to be a bodega.
The victim was taken to a local hospital in stable condition, for an evaluation.
So far in January, 44 rapes have been reported to the NYPD – down from the 71 reported at this point in 2023, according to the latest statistics, updated Sunday.
