NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police are searching for a man who they believe robbed and raped at least two women while threatening them with a blade during meetups at a Bronx hotel.
The NYPD released surveillance video Friday of a suspect in the assaults at the 7 Days Hotel on Bruckner Boulevard in the Castle Hill section.
A 25-year-old woman was raped while meeting a man at the hotel on Sept. 17. The alleged sex predator struck again on Nov. 8, when a 26-year-old woman was raped under similar circumstances.

In the September attack, a man responded to an online post and met the victim in a hotel room at 7:30 a.m. During the encounter, he pulled a sharp cutting instrument on the woman, stole her cash, threatened her and raped her, police said.
Earlier this month, police believe the same man responded to another online post and met a woman in a hotel room. As in the first case, the man brandished a cutting instrument on the victim, robbed her, threatened her and raped her.
