NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A man attempted to rape a 34-year-old woman in a Queens building lobby bathroom on Wednesday, but a good Samaritan stepped in to stop the attack at the last second, police said Friday.
The man cornered the woman with his genitals exposed in the bathroom of a building near the intersection of Crescent Street and 41st Avenue in Dutch Kills around 10:40 p.m., officials said.

After seeing the stranger, the man fled on foot toward the Queensboro Plaza subway station, according to authorities.
The victim was not injured in the attack.
