The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying a man wanted in connection with a strangulation assault that took place inside a commercial building in Boro Park last month.

According to police, the incident occurred on Shabbos, July 4, at approximately 9:20 p.m. at Fort Hamilton Parkway and 45th Street. Investigators say the unidentified man approached a 21-year-old woman inside a business before starting to choke her.

The victim started experiencing pain and difficulty breathing before the suspect then fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction before officers arrived.

The 21-year-old woman declined medical attention at the scene. Police have not released any additional information regarding a possible motive.

The NYPD has released images of the suspect and is asking anyone with information regarding his identity or whereabouts to contact Crime Stoppers.
