NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police continued to search Monday for a man who sexually assaulted a woman at knifepoint in Central Park on Saturday night.
The man attacked the 39-year-old woman around 8 p.m. near East 67th Street and Fifth Avenue, according to police. She was hospitalized in stable condition.
The NYPD didn’t immediately have images or a description of the suspect.
The attack came less than a week after a 32-year-old woman was attacked by three men around 10 p.m. last Sunday at the reservoir near West 93rd Street and West Drive. The woman said the three robbers surrounded her on the jogging path and that she used her Stanley tumbler to fight them off.
And about a month ago, a 63-year-old woman, Elise Bainbridge Hill, was murdered in the park, according to the NYPD. She’d reportedly been living in a gazebo near the Ramble at the time. Jonathan Robles, 36, was arrested in her murder.
If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, please contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673) or go to rainn.org.
