A Brooklyn woman was raped by a stranger who broke into her home over the weekend, police said Monday.
The brute and an accomplice busted into the Sunset Park home around 6 p.m. Saturday and assaulted the 49-year-old woman, with one of the men raping her before both ran off, cops said.
The victim was rushed to a local hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, according to police.
Surveillance photos of the two intruders, released by the NYPD, show one wearing a hoodie with light-colored pants and the other with black pants, a white coat and a wool hat.
Both are described as being in their 30s and are 5 feet 9 to 6 feet tall, the department said.
Anyone with information on the suspects is urged to call the NYPD Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS or online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org.
