The man who allegedly tried to rape a 19-year-old woman on the Upper East Side this summer was indicted in a Manhattan court.

The man who allegedly sexually assaulted and tried to rape a 19-year-old woman on the Upper East Side before being thwarted by a good Samaritan was arraigned on a slew of charges in a Manhattan court Wednesday.According to police sources, 30-year-old Quincy Burks stands accused of the sexual assault that took place on East 90th Street near East End Avenue at approximately 1 a.m. on Aug. 10.

Cops say Burks allegedly followed his 19-year-old victim from nearby Carl Schurz Park and shoved her to the ground. He then allegedly yanked at her sweatpants and sexually assaulted her. Statements made on the record allege attempted to go even further with the horrendous attack when a nearby doorman heard the woman’s cries and rushed to intervene, which sent the assailant fleeing.“As alleged, Quincy Burks tackled and sexually assaulted a young woman in a horrific late-night attack,” said Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. “I am thankful for the doorman who intervened, our fellow New Yorkers who called 911, and the swift work of the NYPD.
