"Police arrested a man suspected in the rape of a 12-year-old girl inside a Brooklyn apartment building, an attack that shook the community. The young girl had just walked back into her NYCHA building at the Cooper Park Houses in East Williamsburg around 5:45 p.m. Thursday, police said, when a complete stranger attacked. The man allegedly grabbed the girl, shoved her to the ground and sexually assaulted her before running off."
"A day later, just after 3:30 p.m. Friday, police received a tip and arrested Eric McMichael in connection with the disturbing attack on the girl. The 27-year-old was charged with two counts of rape and sexual abuse, along with burglary and child endangerment. McMichael has four prior convictions, according to police, including a rape in 2019. He was also convicted of burglary that same year, plus grand larceny and robbery in 2023."
