VIDEO on X here.



In a disturbing video, a man was seen following a woman in the Bronx, then throwing a belt around her neck before sexually assaulting her, according to police.

The incident occurred around 3 a.m. on May 1 near East 152nd Street and Third Avenue in the Melrose neighborhood, police said. The man, who has not yet been identified, was seen on video walking behind a 45-year-old woman he had just had a brief conversation with.

He then took off his belt and tossed it around the woman's neck from behind like a lasso, according to police. He pulled back hard, sending her backwards and to the ground, as she smacked her head on the sidewalk. The woman blacked out before the man dragged her between two parked cars and sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious, investigators said.
