A man in a “Ghost Face” sweatshirt from the “Scream” horror movie franchise raped a 50-year-old woman on a secluded residential block in Queens, police said Saturday.
The victim was nearing the corner of 162nd St. and 89th Ave. in Jamaica at about 3 a.m. Friday when the suspect grabbed her from behind, cops said.
The attacker flashed a knife and raped the woman before running off south on 89th Ave.
The sexual assault took place just paces from NYCHA’s Shelton House, cops said.
The victim was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Cops responding to the rape report recovered surveillance images of the suspect leaving the scene. He’s described as light skinned, between 20 and 30 years old, about 5-foot-6, 120 pounds with a thin build and black hair.
At the time of the attack, he was wearing a black baseball cap with an Adidas logo, Air Jordan black and white sneakers and a black “Scary Ghost Face” sweatshirt with red lettering and a picture of the “Scream” character.
