HARRISON – The Peekskill man wanted for a sexual assault on a woman at the Foundry condo complex in the City of Newburgh was arrested on Tuesday afternoon at St. Vincent Hospital in Westchester County.
State Police BCI and City of Newburgh detectives arrested Andre Sims, 35, and charged him with first-degree rape. The gun he had at the time of the attack late Monday night was not located.
Newburgh Police were called to the Foundry at 10:20 p.m. after they received a call about a woman running around naked inside the housing complex.
She told police the assailant had fled in an SUV, which was spotted on Broadway near Liberty Street. Sims ignored commands to get out and sped away into the Town of Newburgh where he crashed into a building at Powell Avenue and North Street. He continued to drive, evading police until his arrest in Westchester County.
