A Bronx sicko raped a 19-year-old woman as she sat on a bench on Wednesday morning – one day after a different predator attacked another woman in the borough, cops said.
The creep had his private area exposed as he stormed up to the teen around 3 a.m. at Park Avenue and East 183rd Street in Belmont, grabbed her and raped her, authorities and sources said.
The menace, seen in NYPD footage wearing all black with his hood pulled up, then fled the scene.
The victim refused medical attention at the scene, cops said.
In a separate attack early Tuesday, Nicholas Dejesus, 42, grabbed a 33-year-old woman’s neck from behind as she stood on Broadway near West 230th Street in Kingsbridge at around 5:30 a.m., cops and sources said.
“Give it to me or I’ll kill you,” the creep told her, according to authorities.
The sicko repeatedly punched the victim in the face as she resisted, leaving her dazed and dizzy before forcing himself on her, cops said.
Dejesus, who was on parole for robbery, was arrested about 12 hours later and charged with rape, sexual abuse, assault and harassment, police said.
Rapes are up by 27.5% in the Bronx so far this year, with 380 such attacks reported compared to 298 during the same period in 2024, according to the latest NYPD data.
Citywide statistics show a similar surge, with 1,484 rapes reported across the five boroughs so far this year – about a 21 percent increase from the 1,182 reported during that time frame in 2024.
