NEW YORK - Police say they want to question 41-year-old Peter Braunstein in connection with a sexual assault case where the suspect dressed as a fire fighter and molested his victim for more than 12 hours.
The tabloid media has for days floated Braunstein’s name as the prime suspect in the case, which dates to Halloween. Police also released photos of Braunstein, a journalist who worked at a woman’s magazine, on Wednesday.
Police have said the sexual assault involved a suspect who wore a firefighter’s helmet, coat and mask and who set two small fires in stairwells inside the victim’s apartment building in Chelsea.
