Woman in coma after being raped and left for dead in pool of blood yards from home

by

A man is accused of raping a woman and leaving her lying in her own blood just yards from her home.

In a video of the attack a man can be seen riding his bike towards the victim's home and stopping when she steps outside.

They speak for a minute before he grabs her and places her in a chokehold.

He then wrestles the 64-year-old woman to the ground where he sexually assaulted her.

Before cycling away the man washes his hands in a bottle of soap he was carrying.

A witness called the police after seeing her lying on the floor in her blood and feces, the New York Post reported.
