Police are asking for help in tracking down a man seen wanted for rape in Mott Haven.

Police say the suspect waited outside the home of a 38-year-old woman around 8:30 a.m. Once she came out of the home, the suspect took out a knife and demanded she follow him.

He allegedly forced her inside St. Mary's Park, which was a block away from the victim's home. He then raped her and stole her debit card before taking off, according to police.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.
