Special victims detectives are on the hunt for a violent Brooklyn rapist who choked a young woman unconscious before sexually assaulting and robbing her earlier this week.
Police released on Saturday morning an image of the deviant responsible for the attack that occurred at 11:30 p.m. on April 21 inside the Ingersoll Houses public housing complex at 88 Monument Walk in Fort Greene.
According to law enforcement sources, the female victim and the suspect — identified only as Todd — went into the location, after which time the perpetrator asked to have sex with her. When she spurned his advances, cops said, Todd placed her in a chokehold, eventually knocking her unconscious.
Moments later, authorities said, the victim woke up to discover Todd raping her.
Following the attack, police noted, Todd forcibly removed the victim's cellphone and $600 in cash, then took off and fled to parts unknown.
The incident was reported to the 88th Precinct [1]. EMS rushed the victim to Interfaith Hospital for treatment of bruising and scratches to her neck.
