SAFETY ALERT
Safety and Security Office Issues Warning
Last Monday, a rape and an attempted rape in Bedford Stuyvesant and East New York were reported to the 79th precinct of the New York Police Department (NYPD), according to Pratt’s Office of Safety and Security.
On Monday, April 9 at 12:40 AM, an 18-year-old woman was allegedly raped near Quincy Street and Broadway in Bedford Stuyvesant. Later that morning at 11:05 AM, an attempted rape allegedly occurred on Stone Avenue in East New York; the victim fended off the assailant and he fled.
The NYPD is investigating the incidents and believes the same individual is responsible in both cases, as both victims reported being threatened with a hammer.
The suspect is described as being in his early 20s, about 5’8” and 150 pounds.
If you have information that might be helpful to this investigation, please report it to the Office of Safety and Security at 718-636-3542 or in person at the Engineering Building, Room 105.
