Sexual Assault at Gowanus Gluten-Free Bakery

Police are on the hunt for a man wanted for sexually assaulting a woman in a Gowanus bakery early Friday morning.

At around 8:55 a.m., a 22-year-old woman was alone in the bakery where she works when a man entered the shop wearing a ski mask and carrying a gun, according to police.

The assault happened at on Third Avenue near Carroll Street in Gowanus, reported the Brooklyn Paper, though in the story it was referred to Everybody Eats Bakery.

Everybody Eats is not a storefront, but a bakery that sells gluten-free foods and supplies to stores and individuals.

The man forced the young woman into the back office demanding money, according to police. When she told the man she had no money he pushed her to the ground and sexually assaulted her.

He then fled the scene without successfully robbing the bakery. The woman was treated at Kings County Hospital and released. She sustained no serious injuries.

Cops described the suspect as a black man, standing approximately 5-foot-5, and weighing 160 pounds. He was wearing dark clothing. See the surveillance video for more details.
