The NYPD has launched a manhunt for a sex attacker who punched a woman unconscious in a park before launching himself upon her on November 9.
The woman was entering Bronx’s Concrete Plant Park from Bruckner Boulevard at around 9.10pm when the unidentified man hit her over the back of the head, knocking her out.
He then rubbed himself on the defenseless woman and bit her so badly she needed to have 150 stitches, police said.
