Police are seeking the public’s help in tracking down a thief who they say pleasured himself in sight of a middle-aged woman whom he tied up inside her Brooklyn home earlier this week.
The 43-year-old victim told police she was sleeping inside her residence near Piling St. and Evergreen Ave. in Bushwick when the burglar slipped inside through a kitchen window around 3:40 a.m. Monday.
The intruder placed a pillow over the woman’s head, then tied her wrists after wrestling her into submission, cops said.
He then unzipped his pants and masturbated, police said.
Once he’d finished gratifying himself, the suspect nabbed the victim’s cell phone and watch from her bedroom before fleeing, cops said.
New surveillance images of the suspect released Thursday show the suspect riding in the New York City subway wearing a white Puma baseball cap, a black sweatshirt and dark-colored pants.
Anyone with information that could lead the sexually abusive burglar’s arrest are asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-8477. Calls are confidential.
