BRONX - Cops have identified a suspect in a rape that took place in one of the heavily trafficked areas of the borough - near the Bronx criminal and civil courthouses and up the road from Yankee Stadium. 


The NYPD announced today that investigators have identified 31-year-old Malik Crocker in the 2023 rape. The suspect is known to frequent the South Bronx and goes by the nickname “Bread.” 



At around 7:30 am on May 27, a man forced his way into the victim’s apartment in a building in the vicinity of East 161st Street and Grand Concourse. Once inside the apartment the attacker struck the 25-year-old woman multiple times in the face before raping her. The attacker then fled the apartment with the victim’s phone. 



The attack took place in a building that, on weekdays, sees tremendous foot traffic from law enforcement officials and those working in the criminal court system. There is also a heavily trafficked mall. However, the attack took place early on a Saturday morning and the suspect fled the scene without detection.
