Cops in New York City investigated a woman's claim that her eHarmony date raped her at gunpoint in a tunnel underneath the busy Port Authority Bus Terminal, several news agencies reported Friday.
There was no immediate response from the online dating site. Police say the alleged attack unfolded on Monday evening.
The man identified himself online as Jeffrey Kent, and agreed to meet the woman at Port Authority after she took a bus into the city, cops say. She traveled to New York from Virginia, WPIX reports.
Once they met face-to-face, the man suggested they immediately go to a hotel, and the woman refused, a source told The New York Post.
That's when the woman claims he pointed a gun at her, forced her into what she described as an abandoned train tunnel, and raped her, sources tell the newspaper.
Police did not reveal whether they had a suspect in custody. Doctors at Mount Sinai Roosevelt Hospital reportedly treated the woman after the alleged attack.
