Queens Attacker Choked, Tried to Rape 15-Year-Old Girl: NYPD

Police are looking for the man they say choked a 15-year-old girl until she passed out and then tried to rape her earlier this year in Queens.

Police say the teen was talking with the attacker near 109th Road and Farmers Boulevard in St. Albans when the man began choking her late on July 12. The girl passed out, and the man tried to rape her before running away, police said.

It's not clear if the girl was seriously injured.

On Tuesday, investigators released surveillance footage of the man making a purchase at a bodega. 

Anyone with information about the attacker is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
