Stranger beats and rapes woman after following her in brutal NYC attack: cops
A stranger followed a 26-year-old woman before beating and raping her in a brutal Wednesday morning Bronx attack, cops said.
The victim was walking on Virginia Avenue near Wood Avenue in Parkchester around 3:30 a.m. as the suspect, identified as Gregory Williams, 21, trailed behind her, authorities said.
Then the alleged predator ambushed her with multiple punches to the right side of her body, before raping her, police said.
The victim was taken to a local hospital, where she is listed in stable condition, cops said.
Williams, of the Bronx, allegedly took off after the disturbing attack, but was captured around 12:45 p.m. on Wednesday, police said.
He was charged with two counts of first-degree rape, as well as third-degree assault, third-degree sexual abuse and second-degree harassment, the NYPD said.
Williams, dressed in a black hoodie and red and black pajama pants, remained quiet as he was walked out of an NYPD station house by detectives Wednesday night.
