Police are searching for a man who brutally attacked and attempted to rape a woman in Central Park early Saturday morning, as crime in the iconic Big Apple attraction continues to rise.

A 38-year-old woman was near 85 East Drive at the north end of the park around 5:10 a.m. Saturday when she was approached by an unknown assailant, the NYPD said.

The attacker “pushed the victim over a metal fence, punched her in the face several times and attempted to rape her,” police said.

He then fled the scene on a bicycle, exiting the park heading north on 5th Ave., police added.

Surveillance footage shows the suspect wearing a sweatshirt and a baseball cap backwards on a bicycle. Images shared by the NYPD also appear to show the suspect carrying a large grocery delivery bag on his back.

The victim was transported by EMS to the hospital where he is in stable condition.

The vicious attack comes as crime is up 13 percent in Central Park year-on-year and 34 percent compared to two years ago. according to NYPD data.

Two rapes have been reported to Central Park police so far this year — even during the same period in 2023. Robberies, however, have doubled, with 37 reported so far this year. Attacks have also increased.

As of Sunday morning, no arrests had been made.
