The police released a sketch and surveillance video of the man believed to be involved in a series of sexual attacks in Queens, most near bus stops. While the suspect's face is not visible in the surveillance video, police are hoping someone will recognize the man's walk and mannerisms. In two incidents, the man, who has used a knife to threaten his victims, was wearing a hoodie and black Nike Air Force One sneakers. City Councilman Peter Vallone Jr. said the suspect could be involved in other attacks, "As a father of two young girls, I want to see this guy caught and punished to the maximum extent allowable by law and then some." There is a $12,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of a suspect.
