13-year-old girl sexually assaulted at knifepoint in broad-daylight attack at Queens park: police
A 13-year-old girl was forced into the woods at a Queens park and sexually assaulted by a knife-wielding predator in a broad-daylight attack Thursday, police said.
The young teen was inside Kissena Park with a 13-year-old boy when a man brandished a knife and ordered the pair to head to a secluded area near Colden Street and Kalmia Avenue around 3:30 p.m., according to the NYPD.
The creep grabbed the phones of the two 13-year-olds and sexually assaulted the girl, cops said.
He then fled in an unknown direction while EMS responded and brought the victims to an area hospital in stable condition.
The suspect is believed to be in his 20s and is approximately 5 feet 5.
He has curly hair, braces and a tattoo of a boar or a bull with red eyes on his chest, according to the NYPD description.
He was last seen wearing red sneakers and carrying a green backpack.
Investigators are searching for any video cameras in the area that may have captured his photo.
There have been no arrests.
The NYPD is asking anyone with information on the incident to call its Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
