Cops hunting for Bronx rapist

A man followed a young woman into a Bronx apartment building and brutally raped her, cops said yesterday.

The creep stalked the 21-year-old woman as she walked on East 143rd Street in Mott Haven at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday, cops said.

He forced her into a stairwell, where he raped her.

The suspect (pictured) is described by cops as a black man in his 20s, about 5-feet-7 tall and with a bump on his left cheek.

He was wearing black sweat ants, a black hooded sweat shirt and a Yankee cap.
