Overview

• The attack occurred around 5 a.m. on Sept. 28 in a Norwood building near East Gun Hill Road and Putnam Place, where a 36-year-old woman was choked, beaten, raped, and robbed of a Coach bag, wallet, and $250.
• Police identified the suspect as Kenneth Siriboe, 21, of Union Beach, New Jersey, who told investigators he is homeless and has no prior New York arrests.
• Detectives said a person who recognized Siriboe from NYPD-released images tipped them off, prompting a search warrant at a Bronx building and his Monday arrest.
• Prosecutors detailed in a criminal complaint that the victim pleaded for the assault to stop and offered money; she was treated at North Central Bronx Hospital in stable condition.
• Siriboe was arraigned on charges including rape, robbery, burglary, grand larceny, and criminal obstruction of breathing, with a court date set for Friday as officials track an increase in reported Bronx rapes this year.
