Police say they are on the hunt for a rapist who sexually assaulted a teen girl in a Bronx home last weekend.
According to police sources, the horrific incident unfolded inside a home near Prospect Avenue and East 170th Street in Charlotte Gardens at around 8 p.m. on Aug. 10.
Cops say the perpetrator attacked a 15-year-old girl and raped her before fleeing. He remains at large as of publication time Sunday.
The victim was rushed by private means to Lincoln Hospital, where she was treated and listed in stable condition.
