A decorated Fire Department EMT was arrested today for five sexual assaults in Brooklyn dating to 2001 — including one involving an 11-year-old girl whom he trapped on an elevator by using an FDNY key, cops said.
Angus Pascall, 33, was nabbed at his workplace in Brooklyn today — just two days after allegedly raping a 20-year-old woman at gunpoint in a car, cops said.
The victim in that case jotted down the number of the license plate of the green Nissan Maxima he was driving, cops said. That plate number was used to track Pascall, police said.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the Nissan belonged to the father of a friend of Pascall’s. The EMT had the car, Kelly said, because it was vouchered to him by authorities after his friend was arrested on a charge of driving with a suspended license.
In the attack prior to that, on July 11, Pascall allegedly was also armed with a gun when he accosted an 11-year-old girl on an elevator in the Kingsborough Houses project in Bed-Stuy.
The EMT used an elevator key distributed by the Fire Department to stop the elevator and prevent anyone from interrupting the attack, Kelly said .
Pascall sodomized the young girl, and then fled, police said.
“We believe the defendant used a special elevator key in order to bring the elevator down to where he was and to make certain that no one else would be able to use the elevator,” said Kelly.
“He got the elevator key because he was an EMT,” said Kelly.
Pascall, who lives on Rockaway Parkway in Brooklyn, has worked as an emergency medical technician for the FDNY for the past five years. He received a citation in 2007 along with another EMT for their treatment of a patient in September 2006.
But earlier this year, he was arrested and charged in a domestic violence incident involving his girlfriend, prosecutors said.
His alleged sex-attack spree began four years before he joined the Fire Department, on June 11, 2001.
In that case, cops said, 22-year-old woman was entering her house when Pascall, armed with a gun, walked in behind her and raped her.
Police said the next known attack occurred eight years later, on May 21, 2009, when Pascall, armed with a knife, sodomized a 19-year-old woman in the elevator of an apartment building.
On Oct. 20, 2009, Pascall allegedly approached a 14-year-old woman in an apartment building. The EMT, who was armed with a gun and a knife, forced the girl to the rear of the building, where he tried to sexually assault her, police said.
But the girl fought off Pascall, who then fled, cops said.
Commissioner Kelly said the investigation into Pascall is ongoing.
Pascall did not wear his uniform during any of the alleged attacks, police said.
Pascall has been charged with rape, sexual abuse, criminal sex act, menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, and endangering the welfare of a child.
He was awaiting arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court today.
Pascall also faces pending charges from a Jan. 26 incident involving his girlfriend.
A spokesman for the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office said that during a verbal dispute with that woman, Pascall punched her in the back and face, and hit her with a toilet paper rack.
When the woman grabbed a pipe to defend herself, Pascall allegedly took the pipe away from her, pushed her onto a bed, and then held the pipe against her throat, the spokesman said.
Court records show that Pascall currently is being prosecuted on charges of menacing, attempted assault with intent to cause injury, harassment and criminal possession of a weapon. Another charge that had been lodged against him — assault with intent to cause physical injury with a weapon — was dismissed.
