The NYPD has arrested Kareem David, 28, in connection with the case. They say he followed the woman near Putnam St. in Bedford-Stuyvesant Monday at about 3 a.m..
He then threatened to shoot her if she didn't follow him. The woman followed the suspect into a building on Lefferts Place where he brutally assaulted her.
The man pushed his fingers down the woman's throat and raped her near a staircase leading to a basement, according to police.
David faces rape and assault charges.
