Cops are hunting a man who tried to rape a 44-year-old woman in Central Park early Friday morning.
The victim was near W. 64th St. and West Drive when the attacker snuck up behind her around 6:16 a.m., police said.
The woman suffered cuts to her head from the assault and was treated at a local hospital.
A law enforcement source shared an image of the suspect with the Daily News.
The attack follows the arrest of Lateef Caldwell, a homeless parolee accused of trying to rape a woman in Central Park on March 23.
The 45-year-old victim, wearing traditional Muslim garb, was sitting on a bench along a footpath near E. 109th St. and East Drive when she was attacked around 5:35 p.m., cops said.
The assailant pinned her to the bench without saying a word. But she was saved by three bystanders who yelled out, scaring him off and chasing him through the park, sources said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
