Police are looking for a rape suspect who attacked a woman in Brooklyn yesterday morning. According to WABC 7, the victim, 29, was on her way to work when she "was surprised by a man near her apartment building along Fort Hamilton Parkway around 8:40 a.m. He struck the victim over the head with a screwdriver and raped her in an alley." A neighbor told WCBS 2, "Basically this morning when I left, the victim, she was on the first floor, and she was really hysterical, and explained that someone attacked her in the basement... A lot of people think Bay Ridge is safe, but you're not safe anywhere you go." A sketch was released of the suspect, who is described as a white man in his 30s or 40s, between 5'8" and 6', 180 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes.
