Woman at Queens Bus Stop Taken to Cemetery, Raped at Knifepoint

Police are looking for the man who approached a woman waiting at a bus stop in Queens early Monday, forced her to a nearby cemetery and raped her at knifepoint.

Authorities said the suspect approached the 41-year-old victim at 91st Place and Corona Avenue in Elmhurst shortly before 5 a.m. and asked her who she was waiting for.

When she said "my husband," he put a knife to her back and forced her to a high school parking lot about two blocks away, where he made her empty her pockets.

Police say he then forced her to walk to a cemetery a few more blocks away near 50th Avenue and 87th Street, where he demanded she crawl under a fence or he would rape her.

That is where he sexually assaulted her before fleeing eastbound down Corona Avenue, police said.

The victim was treated at a local hospital and released.

The suspect is described as being 25 to 30 years old with black spiked hair and brown eyes.
