NEW YORK (WCBS 880) -- A woman was sexually abused by a serial thief who snuck into her Queens apartment last week, police said Tuesday.
The 49-year-old victim was asleep in her apartment near 188th Street and 64th Avenue in Fresh Meadows around 4 p.m. last Tuesday when she awoke to a man standing over her bed while holding her cellphone.
The woman chased the man out of her apartment, but he suddenly turned back towards her and threw her against a wall, police said.
The man pinned her hands against the wall and sexually abused her before running away, according to police.
The woman was taken to Flushing Hospital Medical Center, where she was treated for a knee injury.
Police released surveillance video of the suspect Tuesday and said he’s also wanted in a nearby burglary about a half-hour after the woman was attacked.
The video shows him sneaking into a shed a few blocks away, near 185th Street and 186th Lane, via an unlocked gate. Police said he stole power tools and a Razor scooter worth $370.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
