Serial Sexual Assaults in Brooklyn, NY - Mapped on SpotCrime!

By
Recently, there have been a string of sexual assaults against women in the Sunset Park/Windsor Terrace/Park Slope neighborhoods of Brooklyn, NY.  A total of 11 assaults since March.  The most recent occurred on Monday night when a man groped a woman after exiting the subway in Sunset Park.  Check out the crime listing we created to give a visual representation of where these assaults have occurred.

 The NYPD does not believe the most recent crime is related to the 10 other sexual assaults.  But, since it occurred in the same area as the others, we decided to include it on our map.

Picture from NBC New York coverage
There have been 4 total sketches made from accounts from the victims.  Although all drawings are different, you can see some similarities in the race (possibly), hair color and nose of the suspect(s), which is why we think all of the incidents are related.  The man has been described as being 20 to 25 years old, about 5'4" with a medium build.

The most recent sketch released.  This man is believed to have a mole on the left side of his neck.




No matter what city you live in, whether it's the Big Apple or Small Town, USA, stay aware.  Never go anywhere alone, especially at night.  Arm yourself with knowledge and make sure you take the correct preventative measures against crime and criminals.  Sign up for your local crime alerts or view your local crime map at SpotCrime or MyLocalCrime.  Stay safe!
