From Amanda Woods

Last week, a gunman raped a woman at knifepoint at a spa in Queens and then stole her money in a horrific ordeal, police said.

The maniac pulled out a knife before sexually assaulting the 37-year-old victim at around 10 p.m. Thursday at the Vanilla Spa, which is located on the second floor of a building on 162nd Street near Northern Boulevard in the Murray Hill neighborhood, police said.

He then stole an unknown amount of money and valuables from the woman, police said.

It is unclear whether the victim works at the facility.

The attacker – seen in surveillance video released by the NYPD late Tuesday – was wearing a green sweatshirt with the hood pulled up, tan pants and white sneakers.

As of Wednesday, he had not yet been caught.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to call the NYPD’s CrimeStoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or (for Spanish) 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
