A man was arrested Saturday for raping a woman after asking her for directions in the Bronx, cops said.
The 35-year-old victim was walking near Bergen Avenue and East 149 Street around 1 a.m. on Aug. 5 when she was approached by a man asking for directions.
The brute then forced her to have intercourse in a “dark area” and fled east on East 149 Street towards Brook Avenue, cops said.
The victim was taken to NYC Health and Hospitals/Lincoln in stable condition.
Papa Diop, 38, was arrested after police recognized him from a wanted photo, cops said. He was charged with first-degree rape.
The NYPD’s Bronx Special Victims Squad is investigating, police said.
