Bronx man charged with rape of woman, attempted rape of two others in three-hour span.


Cops arrested a 20-year-old Bronx man Saturday wanted for raping a woman in lower Manhattan and trying to rape two others during a sick three-hour stretch.
In the first incident, Robert Bowie followed a 33-year-old victim into her James St. apartment about 5:40 a.m. Thursday, cops said. He grabbed the woman and attempted to rob and rape her. The victim who was
unharmed fought Bowie off and he fled the area.
Two hours later, Bowie followed a 24-year-old woman into her apartment on Broome St. and grabbed her by the shoulders, cops said. The victim screamed and Bowie fled the scene. The victim was unharmed.
Just over an hour later, Bowie forced his way into a 40-year-old woman’s apartment in the Baruch Houses on FDR Drive, cops said.
The victim first encountered Bowie in the stairway, where they spoke before he forced his way into her apartment and raped her. She was treated at a local hospital.
Cops released surveillance images of the suspect hours after the attack and — after receiving tips from the public — caught up with him about 1 a.m. Saturday, police said.
He was hit with a slew of charges including rape, burglary and robbery, cops said.
