The NYPD released surveillance video of an e-bike riding suspect wanted in the attempted rape of a woman in Central Park. At around 5 am on October 26, a 38-year-old woman was walking in the vicinity of 85 East Drive in the northern tip of the park. Cops said the suspect rode up to her and then pushed the woman over a metal fence. The attacker then repeatedly punched the woman in the face and tried to rape her, investigators said. However, the suspect hopped on his e-bike and rode off without raping her. Cops said he drove out of the park and fled northbound on 5th Avenue. EMS transported the victim to an area hospital wher
