Police are hunting for a man who brutally raped a 17-year-old girl in the Bronx in a brazen daytime attack after the two met on a dating app.
The girl had gone to that location to meet with someone she had first connected with on a dating app, a police source told The Post.
Instead she was confronted by the suspect, who “pushed her into a room, punched her in the face then proceeded to rape her,” according to a statement from the NYPD.
After the assault, the perp took off running, heading southbound along Rosedale Avenue.
The 17-year-old victim was taken by paramedics to NYC Health and Hospitals/Jacob in stable condition.
The accused rapist was described as a man between 20 and 30 years old, about 5’10” tall, with a medium build. He has a dark complexion with acne scarring on his face and a mustache.
He was last seen wearing a black t-shirt and black shorts with a white stripe.
A surveillance photo released by the police also showed the alleged perp wearing a pair of gray-and-white sneakers.
