According to this morning’s New York Post, the victim of Wednesday’s sexual assault outside her Bay Ridge apartment was asked by her attacker for forgiveness, then made the sign of the cross – after being beaten her over the head with a screwdriver and forcing himself on the 39-yr old woman.

Neighbor Anne Carnes, 68, said she was in the elevator with a neighbor about 20 minutes after the rape when the victim cried out – reports the Post.

“She was afraid to move until she heard my voice, and then she was like, ‘Anne! Anne! Anne!” she said.

The woman told neighbors in her Bay Ridge building about the ordeal after they came to her aid Wednesday morning.

“I’m sorry. I’m going through some hard times. I didn’t mean to do this,” she said he told her. “Will you please forgive me?”

The rapist quickly found religion as well.

“He made the sign of the cross,” said neighbor Victor Mena.

The rapist, described by cops as in his early 20′s to 30′s; white; crew cut; last seen wearing white sneakers, blue jeans and a blue shirt – remains at large.

Police have just surveillance video of the piece of shit who raped a Bay Ridge woman on her way to work Wednesday morning.
WABC and the Daily News has posted video, amounting to less than 10 seconds in length, of a man running from the scene who appears to fit the description of the scumbag wanted for the broad daylight attack.

Anyone with any information is urged to contact Crimestoppers at (800) 577-TIPS or text 274637 and enter “TIP577.”

Or…. handle it in the ‘traditional ways.’
