Cops Seek Suspect in Attempted Subway Rape, Robbery

Police are seeking the public's help in identifying a suspect wanted in connection with a robbery and attempted rape on the F train in Brooklyn early Wednesday morning.

At 2:25 a.m., the assailant approached a woman riding a southbound F train at the Fort Hamilton Parkway station in Windsor Terrace, put his hand around her throat, brandished a knife and demanded her possessions, police said. 

The man took the woman's pocketbook, which contained money and her iPhone, and demanded that she remove her underwear, police said.

There was no sexual assault committed, police said.  The attacker fled the train and was caught on video crossing the northbound platform of the same station. Police released a surveillance video, seen left,  and a sketch, seen above,  in the hopes the public might recognize the suspect. 

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime stoppers at 800-577-8477.
