NYPD: Arrest made in attempted rape foiled by Marine in Queens

Police have arrested a man they say is the pervert who tried to sexually assault a woman alongside a Queens highway before he was scared away by a former Marine.

Kenneth King, 41, was charged with attempted rape, police said Friday afternoon.

Three people recognized King from an artist's sketch of the suspect that the NYPD released to the media after the attack Wednesday morning, police sources said.

All three called the tip in to the 109th Precinct in Flushing, and each provided King's name, the sources said.


The suspect dragged the woman - who had been waiting for a ride when she was accosted - into a wooded area near the highway, pinned her down and started to rip her clothes off.

But ex-Marine Bryan Teichman, 31, of Fresh Meadows, Queens, who was in the area, dropping his daughter off at a babysitter's home, saw the suspect toss the woman over a highway guardrail.
