NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD released images Tuesday of a suspect in the knifepoint sexual assault of a woman in Central Park on Saturday night.
Police are still searching for the man who attacked the 39-year-old woman around 8 p.m. on a path near East 67th Street and Fifth Avenue. She was hospitalized in stable condition.

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.
