Authorities have identified the suspected home intruder they say raped a sleeping 78-year-old woman in Queens early Sunday as 30-year-old Ryan Bayard.
No additional details on Bayard, including a most recent place of residence, were immediately available. It also wasn’t clear if he had any sort of prior connection to the victim, authorities said Monday.
The woman was alone in her home in Rosedale around 6 a.m. when Bayard allegedly somehow got inside and attacked her. He then ran off.
The woman was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, according to police.
Bayard is described as being about 5 feet 10 inches tall and 180 pounds with dreadlocks. Authorities released an image of him (above). Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
