BROOKLYN — Cops are searching for a man wanted in connection with three sexual assaults that occurred in central Brooklyn within the last 10 days.          

The suspect, who is said to be in his 20s, is described by police as a smooth talker who lures women into secluded areas by asking them to help him score weed, and then he rapes them.

Police described the alleged rapist to the NY Daily News as being “attractive.”

He is described as 5-foot-9, weighing between 160 and 180 pounds. At the time of the attacks, the suspect was allegedly wearing a green camouflaged jacket, pants and boots.

Police say the rapist was also seen wearing a baseball cap with a Knicks or Yankees logo.

The first attack took place at 9 p.m. on April 4 on Albany Avenue and Fenimore Street, two blocks from Wingate Park, according to cops.

The suspect convinced his 25-year-old victim to follow him into a secluded parking lot, where he raped her.

On April 11, the suspect struck again, this time approaching a 19-year-old woman on Remsen Avenue and Farragut Road in Canarsie and raping her in the driveway of a private home.

A little more than 12 hours later, the suspect sexually assaulted a 15-year-old girl after luring her to the sixth floor of an apartment on Midwood Street and Schenectady Avenue, several blocks away from where the April 4 rape occurred.

Cops say the alleged rapist first approached his 15-year-old victim inside the building.

Police ask anyone with information relating to the incident to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477), or to submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at nypdcrimestoppers.com or by texting tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
