Police: Girl Raped at Knifepoint by Man Posing as Cop in Queens



NEW YORK (1010 WINS)  -- The NYPD says a man posing as a police officer forced a 16-year-old girl into his pickup truck, then drove her to a parking lot and raped her at knifepoint.

The suspect then fled in his car, and the girl was taken to Mary Immaculate Hospital. 

The incident occurred in Queens early Saturday, but investigators were still searching for the suspect on Thursday.

They released a sketch of the man, who is believed to be in his 30s and wore a New York Yankees knit cap. It wasn't clear if he was wearing a fake uniform or had a badge with him.

He was last seen driving a late model black pick-up truck, police said.

Police are asking anyone with information to call the CrimeStoppers hot line at 800-577-TIPS.
