The attacker struck first at around 7:30 am on September 17. Cops say the suspect responded to an online post and went to the motel at 2338 Bruckner Blvd.




Brandishing a “sharp cutting instrument” the attacker robbed and then raped the 25-year-old woman.




He fled the hotel with an unknown amount of cash. 


The victim refused medical treatment.
