Police: Alleged rapist broke woman’s teeth in brutal attack

Authorities are asking Brooklynites to help them find a man who they say raped and beat a woman in Clinton Hill in the early hours of Monday morning, knocking out several of her teeth in the process, according to a report.

The 52-year-old woman was on Putman Avenue at around 3 am on Aug. 17 when she met a guy who said he would shoot her if she didn’t follow him, police said.

The woman followed the man into a building on Lefferts Place where he allegedly assaulted her and pushed his fingers down her throat, cops said.

The sicko then allegedly removed the woman’s underwear and raped her near a staircase leading to a basement, according to a report.

The victim lost two teeth in the attack and is now recovering in hospital where she is in stable condition, police said.

Cops have released footage of a suspect, who they say is in his mid-30s and has a muscular build. He may also have bite marks on his right hand, authorities said.

Police ask anyone with information about the incident to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577–8477. The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577.
