New York City police say a 17-year-old boy is accused of attempting to rape a 13-year-old girl in the Bronx.
Police say they arrested Garry Pinkney early Sunday on charges of attempted rape, robbery, burglary and a criminal sex act.
The alleged incident occurred on Thursday.
The Daily News reports that the suspect allegedly followed the girl into a building elevator and then into her apartment.
Police say once inside he allegedly produced a knife and demanded money. When she refused, police say he removed items from her bag and forced her into a sex act and attempted to rape her.
The victim was treated at a hospital.
It wasn't immediately known if Pinkney had an attorney who could comment on the charges.
