HARLEM, Manhattan -- Police were back in Harlem on Sunday handing out copies of flyers showing a man in a very distinctive looking sweatshirt wanted for attempted rape and attempted murder.The woman was walking down West 123rd Street Friday night when the suspect approached her from behind and punched her in the head sending her to the ground.
The victim has lived in Harlem for nearly a decade, and her neighbors say she lives alone but they all do their best to look out for one another. Police interviewed more people at the scene Sunday afternoon on 123rd Street between Lenox Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Junior Boulevard."It's very scary and I just hope with this comes a bit more, you know, security," resident Celeste Edwards said."More vigilant people. More streetlights if anything because it can be kind of dark in some areas."
