Police are offering a $12,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of a teen who raped a 12-year-old girl in the Bronx last week.

They say the girl was on her way home from school last Tuesday when a man approached her near East Tremont Avenue and Southern Boulevard in West Farms.

He told her he would kill her if she screamed before forcing her into an alley.

Police describe the suspect as being 5'2" tall and in his early to mid teens.

Anyone with information on the case should contact the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS, or text CRIMES and then enter TIP577, or visit www.nypdcrimestoppers.com.
