Police are searching for a man they say groped a woman in a Lower Manhattan subway station.
Two women -- one a 43-year-old jogger, the other unknown -- were victims of sex attacks in Manhattan early Thursday, and one of the suspects may be a serial predator linked to two other attacks this year, according to police.
"Clearly she had been injured, fell or something like that. She had blood on her elbows right here," said Gabrielle Sumkin, who was also out for a run and noticed the woman in distress. Sumkin called 911 and stayed with the victim until police and first responders arrived. She said the woman appeared disoriented as she stayed with her.
That suspect was identified as 28-year-old Carl Phanor, of Manhattan. Police said he had also been wanted in two other Manhattan attacks from March and October of this year. The sex attack and robbery on March 27 occurred at Pier 40, on the west side of Manhattan, while the early October incident was on an FDR service road near 37th Street.
