THE BRONX — A burglar climbed into a woman's Clason Point apartment through her kitchen window and forced her to touch him and masturbated before fleeing through her fire escape Sunday, NYPD officials said.

The man, who can be seen in a video released by police Tuesday night, scaled a fire escape to get into the kitchen window of the victim's Taylor Avenue apartment about 1:30 a.m., according to authorities.

Once inside, he forced the woman to touch him while he masturbated, officials said.

He fled down her fire escape and hadn't been arrested as of Wednesday morning, police said.

The woman was evaluated at Jacobi Medical Center, police said.

The suspect is about 200 pounds, 5 feet 7 inches tall and was wearing a light-colored hat with dark pants, black and white shoes and a light-colored jacket, according to the NYPD.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
