Police: Man sought for alleged rape attempt
A man attempted to rob and sexually assault a young boy last week, police say.
Police say the 11-year-old boy was walking near the corner of White Plains Road and Magenta Avenue Tuesday when the suspect approached him and allegedly flashed a knife.
The boy says that after being approached, the suspect forced him into a nearby park, punched him and attempted to sexually assault him.
The incident occurred just before 4 p.m. It is unclear whether the suspect stalked the victim prior to the attack.
The suspect is said to be in his late teens.
