New video reveals the thug accused of bloodying a teenage girl in a middle-of-the-night attempted rape just steps away from Gracie Mansion.
The alleged sex pest was caught by surveillance footage wandering the streets of the Upper East Side around the time a 19-year-old girl was stalked and pinned to the ground.
One clip shared by the NYPD shows the slender and bearded man wearing a white shirt and holding a black umbrella casually walking along the sidewalk.
Another shows what appears to be the same individual — now wearing a black shirt — sprinting across a crosswalk.
In the third, the man — previously described by cops as 6 feet tall — stopped on the sidewalk to check his phone and suspiciously checked over his shoulder several times before walking away.
Cops believe he is the same man who tried to rape a young woman around 1:20 a.m. in the vicinity of East 90th Street and East End before being scared off by a hero doorman who heard her cries.
“This young lady was on the floor frantically crying, blood on her shirt and nose,” the doorman, Hector Mateo, told The Post.
The suspect took off westbound on East 90th Street and is still in the wind.
The victim went to New York Presbyterian Cornell Medical Center in stable condition, police said.
Anyone with information on the Upper East Side assault is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
