Police were searching late Tuesday for a man they say has tried to sexually assault two older women in Brooklyn.
Investigators say the man, who was caught on surveillance video, entered a business in Bedford Stuyvesant around 4 p.m. Friday and forced a 61-year-old woman to the back, where he tried to rape her.
He fled the scene with an undetermined amount of money.
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital where she was treated for injuries to her arm, face and ankle.
Police believed he is the same man who tried rape a 77-year-old woman inside another business in the same neighborhood on October 27.
He is described as being between 25 and 30 years old and weighing between 160 and 180 pounds.
Anyone with information about the case is being asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.
