Police identified the man they say raped and robbed a 50-year-old woman in Highbridge.

The NYPD is searching for 50-year-old Isaiah Jones, who they provided a photo of just over a week after releasing his sketch.

Jones allegedly walked up to the victim inside a building near West 164th Street and Ogden Avenue at around 7 p.m. on April 17.

Authorities say he sexually assaulted the woman before forcefully snatching around $50 and a yellow metal chain with a cross pendant from her.

The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment.

The sketch first released by police shows Jones with a Yankee's baseball cap, which authorities say he was last spotted wearing.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).

The NYPD is also asking any other victims to come forward by calling the NYPD's Sex Crimes Hotline at (212) 267-7273 or (646) 610-7272.
