The NYPD is looking for a man in connection to a rape of a woman in an apartment building near Bolton Street in the Morris Park section of the Bronx.
A 46-year-old man has been indicted on rape and a slew of other charges related to a knifepoint attack on a 40-year-old woman inside her Bronx apartment building, according to the district attorney.
In addition to the rape charge, Ramon Rotestan was arraigned on predatory sexual assault, robbery, burglary, sex abuse and weapon possession charges, DA Darcel Clark said Tuesday.
Cops allege Rotestan is the stranger who followed the victim into a residential building near Bolton Street and Lydig Avenue in Pelham Parkway around 10 p.m. on May 9. He followed her all the way into an elevator, police say, where he allegedly raped her at knifepoint and stole $112.
A neighbor made noise in the hallway outside the elevator, which startled Rotestan, according to the investigation, leading him to run off. Police said he lives a few miles from the scene.
