Police are searching for a man accused of attempting to rape a 29-year-old woman inside the lobby of her Brooklyn apartment building.

Police say the suspect followed the victim for several blocks before reaching the apartment building.
They say the suspect asked the victim if he lived inside the building and he said yes, so she let him inside.

The man is described as being 5'9'' to 5'10'' and wearing a dark-hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
