The New York Police Department is seeking the public's help in finding the man they say broke into a woman's apartment in the middle of the night and raped her at knifepoint as her daughter slept nearby. Police say the woman and her 7-year-old daughter were both asleep when the assailant entered at 3:30am yesterday. They say it's unclear how the suspect gained access into the apartment in Manhattan's Little Italy; there were no signs of forced entry. (More rape stories.)
