NYC woman raped after accepting scooter ride from stranger: cops

A woman was knocked unconscious and raped after accepting a ride from a stranger on a scooter in Queens, police said Wednesday.

The 49-year-old victim was walking home in Elmhurst around 5 a.m. Sunday when a man on a scooter pulled up and started chatting with her, cops said.

The woman jumped on the back of the scooter and took off with the unidentified man, according to police.

But a few blocks later, near 48th Avenue and 72nd Street, he unsuspectingly punched her in the face, causing her to smack her head on the pavement and lose consciousness, according to police.

The woman told cops that when she came to, the creep was raping her.

When the sicko realized his victim had regained consciousness, he took off on the scooter, cops said.

The woman told cops she wasn’t sure what the two talked about or what led her to climb onto the back of his ride, police said.

The woman was brought to NYC Health and Hospital in Elmhurst in serious but stable condition.

Police released a photo of the suspect Wednesday.
