Rape Suspect Sought By Cleveland Police

CLEVELAND — An 18-year-old girl was kidnapped and raped after she got off a bus on E. 146th Street, Cleveland Police said. Now investigators are asking for help identifying her attacker.

The attack happened May 25, 2017 at about 1 a.m., Cleveland Police said. The woman got off a bus and noticed a man following her. As the teenager approached her driveway, the suspect pulled out a gun and pointed it at her.
