A 15-year-old girl was raped and punched by a man in a basement apartment in Brooklyn, police said Saturday.
The teen met the 23-year-old man in East New York on Tuesday evening and they went into the basement apartment together, according to the NYPD.
The man then sexually assaulted the teen, punched her and stole her cellphone and jewelry before fleeing, police said.
It’s unclear how well the two knew each other or why they were meeting in the apartment.
Neighbors were shocked after hearing about the attack. Brandon Gutierrez said he feared for his little sister.
"It's scary," Gutierrez said. "I don't even know how to react to stuff like that."
The suspect is 5 feet, 11 inches tall and about 190 pounds, police said. He was last seen wearing all black clothing.
