The NYPD is looking for a suspect who raped two women at a Bronx hotel.
According to police, at 7:30 a.m on Sept. 17 an unknown man responded to an online post and went to the 7 Days Hotel, located at 2338 Bruckner Blvd. Once inside, the suspect pulled out a sharp cutting instrument and took an undetermined amount of cash from a 25-year-old woman. The suspect then threatened and raped the victim before fleeing the scene on foot.
The suspect struck again on Nov. 8. At 6 a.m. that day, the suspect returned to the hotel after responding to another online post.
