NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The suspect in the rape of a woman in Central Park in October was arrested Tuesday in Florida—and has been linked to two other sex attacks in the park, the NYPD said.
Dereck Rivera-Deleon was taken into custody by the U.S. Marshals NY/NJ Regional Fugitive Task Force while he was working at a Burger King in Miami.
Police didn't immediately say how they managed to track him down to his workplace.
The NYPD said he'd also be charged with two rapes in Central Park in 2023 and 2021.
Investigators believe Rivera-Deleon is the man who sexually assaulted a 39-year-old woman at knifepoint on a path near East 67th Street and Fifth Avenue on the night of Oct. 24. She was hospitalized in stable condition.
