Police Now Seeking Two in Forest Hills Rape Pattern

Police in Queens are still . Now, they fear the suspect may be walking the streets with a partner.

On June 22, a 20-year-old woman was attacked in front of 97-11 Horace Harding Expressway in Corona. She was sexually assaulted by one suspect while walking on the street with a shopping cart, and was able to use the cart as a weapon to free herself.

After she had broken away, police said Ibrahama Ragis, an alleged suspect in the three previous incidents, tried to sexually assault her. The victim struggled and was able to escape, and after calling police was taken to a Queens hospital where she was treated for lacerations and bruising. 

The second suspect, who police have not yet been able to identify, is a black male between the ages of 18- and 20-years-old, roughly 5'9" and 150 pounds. He was wearing dark blue basketball shorts at the time of the attack.

Police have sent out a sketch of the suspect, and are currently circulating a mug shot of Ragis. 

If anyone has any information, they are asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips at the Crime stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then entering TIP577.
