Police arrested a rapist in Washington State a month after he violently sexually assaulting a woman in Queens for six hours, officials said Friday.
Michael Hosang, 53, was arrested Thursday in Bellingham, Washington. He is in the custody of the Bellingham Police Department while waiting for extradition to face charges related to the May attack.
Hosang allegedly raped the 29-year-old woman between 6 am and noon on May 30 at her home. During this ordeal that lasted for hours, he also hit the woman in the face several times, breaking at least one facial bone, officials said.
The victim escaped by jumping through the second floor window.
Other victims have since revealed that they have also suffered similar attacks from Hosang, according to The Bellingham Herald, which publishes a press release from the US Marshals.
On Thursday, the NYPD and local authorities found Hosang at a hotel in Bellingham, where he was caught, police said.
He faces charges of first degree rape, first degree sexual acts, aggravated first degree sexual abuse and criminal obstruction of breathing.
