A man strangled and then sexually assaulted a woman Saturday morning while walking her small dog, on a Brooklyn sidewalk, cops said. Released by the NYPD, the video shows that the 30-year-old victim was unexpectedly approached from behind and placed in a chokehold around 8:30 a.m. near Woodbine Street and Ridgewood Place in Bushwick.
The man struggled the woman to the ground behind a parked car. Footage shows as the man mounts the woman; her dog can be heard barking frantically.
Before getting away and heading east on Woodbine Street, the woman continued to be strangled and assaulted over her clothing, police said.
The Post was told by a police source on Sunday, “This scumbag literally placed her in a chokehold and pushed her to the ground and almost choked her unconscious.”

According to authorities. The suspect was last seen wearing a black ball cap with a rose design on the front and was clad in a black t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers.
