Suspect sought in terrifying Brooklyn home invasion rape

BENSONHURST (WABC) -- Police are searching for a man wanted in connection with a violent rape in Brooklyn, and they're hoping an old mug shot of the suspect will lead to an arrest.

The incident happened in the Bensonhurst section around 3 a.m. on Saturday, August 23.

Authorities say 25-year-old David Evanson entered the 21-year-old female victim's apartment through a window, then choked her as she lay in bed, dragged her into the living room and sexually assaulted her.

He then fled the location in a sedan vehicle.

The suspect is believed to be the victim's ex-boyfriend, and she reportedly had an order of protection against him.

Evanson is described as a black male standing 6-foot-2 and weighting 250 pounds.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
