A fiend raped a 23-year-old woman inside a SoHo building after threatening to shoot her in a terrifying ordeal over the weekend, authorities and sources said.
The attacker followed the victim into the residential building near Thompson and Prince streets around 4:10 a.m. Sunday, cops said.
Video released by the NYPD late Sunday shows the perv walking along the sidewalk – at first passing the entrance to the residence – but then doubling back when he spots the victim entering, before grabbing the door and walking inside.
“If you scream, I’ll shoot you,” he snarled at the victim, according to the sources.
He then grabbed the young woman, placed her in a chokehold and raped her, police said.
The woman was taken to a local hospital for a medical evaluation, police said.
The suspect had not been caught by Monday.
He is described as having a dark complexion and slim build, and he was last seen wearing a black hoodie with red lettering that forms a heart shape, gray pants with stripes and orange sneakers.
Anyone with information on the crime is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
