Cops are hunting a fiend suspected in connection with not one, not two, but three heinous crimes in Prospect Park, including a brutal rape earlier this month.

A 24-year-old woman told police she was strolling along the park’s East Drive March 11 at 4:30 p.m. when the lowlife allegedly forced her to perform oral sex.

A few days later on March 13, the scumbag allegedly attacked a 26-year-old woman near the same location at 2:30 p.m., grabbing her by the hair before snatching her phone, according to authorities.

Police believe the crook is the same guy who attacked a woman on East Drive on Feb. 24, grabbing her by the hair before fleeing, cops said.

Investigators described the suspect as a man in his late 20’s, who stands at approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall. He was last seen wearing a red pullover sweatshirt with a white stripe and blue jeans, police said.
