NEW YORK — The NYPD is searching for a man who they say raped a woman inside her Upper East Side apartment.
It happened at a building near East 92nd Street and First Avenue.
Investigators say it was just after 3:30 a.m. Saturday when a 29-year-old woman woke up and found a man in her bed. Police say the man raped the woman, then ran away. The victim was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
No arrests have been made, and police say they have not yet determined how he got into the apartment or why the victim was targeted. The NYPD has released a photo of a man wanted in connection to the attack.
Neighbors stunned by Upper East Side attack
Most who spoke to CBS News New York call the area a good place to live and were stunned to hear what happened.
“This is, like, normally a very safe neighborhood. I’ve been here 20-some years,” neighbor Elga Casino said. “In her home? Inside her home? Oh my God.”
