Police have charged the 17-year-old who tried to rape a woman in the lobby of her apartment building at the Stuyvesant Town complex, authorities said Monday.
Aaron Kish was arrested hours after the Sunday morning attack, which was caught by one of the East 20th Street building’s surveillance cameras.
He was charged with attempted rape, burglary, assault, sex abuse and strangulation, officials said.
The 22-year-old victim was walking into her building when Kish grabbed her and threw her to the ground around 5 a.m.
He then choked her and tore off her clothes as he tried to rape her.
Kish fled the building when another resident walked in and spooked him, according to cops.
Around two hours later, paramedics discovered the teen lying drunk in front of a building on Park Avenue South near East 23rd Street, police said.
Unaware of what he’d done, the medics took him to Mount Sinai Beth Israel Hospital for treatment of several chest scratches he apparently suffered while struggling with his victim, sources said.
A hospital employee called police because the patient was a minor and alone, sources said.
Detectives who went to the hospital soon realized Kish fit the description of the attacker and took him in for questioning. He later confessed to the crime, officials said.
