Police were on the hunt in New York City on Wednesday for a man who allegedly raped a woman — who got lost and asked him for directions.
A 31-year-old woman from Yonkers, a city 15 miles north of Manhattan, was in the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood around 1 a.m. on Sunday when she asked a man for help navigating.
Instead of assisting her, the man allegedly grabbed the woman by her arm and pulled her into the basement of a building on West 51st Street and proceeded to rape her, WABC-TV reported.
The alleged suspect then fled the scene, leaving the woman with bruising. She was hospitalized in stable condition.
