Cops in South Florida are on the hunt for a man they say attacked and raped a woman who was rollerblading near the beach — and there’s surveillance video that purportedly depicts it.
Miami Beach PD says they’re in search of a suspect they claim sexually battered a young woman early Tuesday morning who was cruising down the sidewalk near the beach on skates — where this man snuck up behind her and pounced.
WSVN 7 News obtained surveillance video that captures the man in the act — and it’s horrifying to see … as it appears to show exactly what police say happened here.
In the clip, you can see a guy creeping up behind this woman while she skates along the path without any clue that someone’s about to attack her — and as he get closer, he eventually wraps his arms around her neck and seemingly starts to strangle/throttle her.
He brings the woman to the ground, and despite a struggle … gets the better of her as she begins to go limp. Police say the suspect then dragged her into the shrubbery nearby and sexually assaulted her … leaving her there only to be found later on by a witness.
Cops say the suspect was long gone by then … and now, they’re asking the public to help identify this man. The police say this was an isolated incident, but they’re trying to get to the bottom of it STAT … already noting they have great leads and believe they’ll find him.
MBPD is offering a $5,000 reward for anyone who can offer valuable info that leads to the perp’s capture. The woman was treated at a hospital … no word on her current condition.
