New video released of suspect in Brooklyn Heights sexual assault, robbery

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS - The NYPD has released new video of a suspect they said broke into a Brooklyn Heights apartment and sexually assaulted a sleeping woman before stealing her wallet and fleeing.

It happened Friday around 2 a.m. when police said an unknown male entered a 43-year-old woman’s apartment near Middagh Street and Henry Street.

According to police, while the victim was sleeping, the man got into the woman's apartment and sexually assaulted her. 

"I think that the detectives were in our building looking at camera footage, so I thought it might have been in my building," one man told FOX 5 NY's Kendall Green over the weekend.
