The Brooklyn Ink "Sexual Assault Ends in Arrest, But No Break in String of High-Profile Attacks [WPIX]"
A Brooklyn man was arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two women in Sunset Park on Sunday morning and charged with assault, sexual abuse and forcible touching, according to police. [He] followed the women from a subway station before attacking them, police say. He ran up behind the women and sexually assaulted one of them before the other intervened and tackled the suspect.
Investigators have connected this assault to another on Sept. 4. At least 10 assaults like Sunday’s have taken place in the borough since March, police say, but Yax is not considered a suspect in those cases.
