Police released video footage Friday of a man wanted in connection with a series of rapes this month in West Harlem.
The last rape occurred on August 18 when a 69-year-old woman was attacked as she returned to her apartment building on Riverside Drive and 155th Street at about 4 a.m.
The woman was on her way home from work, police said.
The suspect was most likely already inside the building, police said. He pushed the woman into an elevator where he assaulted, raped and robbed her.
Police said the same man is most likely responsible for two other attacks in Hamilton Heights.
On Aug 1 around 3 a.m.., police said the suspect grabbed a 59-year-old woman and dragged her into an alleyway near West 148th Street and Broadway where she was sexually assaulted and robbed.
On Aug 10 around 2 a.m., the suspect followed a 23-year-old woman into an elevator near West 144 Street and Convent Avenue where he sexually assaulted her and robbed her at knifepoint, police say.
Anyone with information on any of these attacks is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
