Police say a man who sexually assaulted and robbed two women earlier this month attacked a third victim Tuesday in Manhattan.

Investigators say the attack happened around 4 a.m. at West 158th Street and Riverside Drive in Hamilton Heights.

They say the man followed a 69-year-old woman into an elevator at a residential building where they say he raped and robbed her.

Police say he also attacked a woman in an alleyway at West 148th Street and Broadway on August 1.
