## Summary

New York police are investigating the rape of a 39-year-old woman in Central Park, where a suspect remains at large after threatening her with a knife. The case has drawn attention to reported attacks in the park and to criticism from a retired police inspector that two senior Democratic state officials have not commented, despite their intervention in a separate Cornell case.

Police said the attack happened at about 8.30pm on Saturday near East 67th Street and East Drive; the victim was taken to hospital in stable condition. It is the fifth reported rape in the Central Park Precinct this year, compared with three around the same time last year. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said the city would support survivors and strengthen prevention, while the NYPD said the investigation is ongoing.
