SEXUAL ASSAULT LAST NIGHT ON VANDERBILT STREET

A woman was groped on Vanderbilt Street near E. 4th Street at about 11:30 on Sunday night. The attacker also stole her handbag. He ran toward E. 3rd Street when the woman screamed and fought him.

She said that she felt like she was being followed, so she removed her headphones, turned around, and saw a man lurking. When she resumed walking, he followed her again. One online report says she described him as being 5'4" tall, but another says 5'9". He has spiked hair and a mustache.

A woman was sexually assaulted and robbed in Sunset Park near Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church's parking lot on Sunday morning at 5:30 a.m. The attacker isn't of the same ethnicity as the man (or men) described by other victims. Police don't think this assault is related to the other dozen.
