A Philadelphia man is accused of raping and robbing a Macy’s customer after hiding in a women’s restroom and jumping over a stall to attack her over the weekend. Jaleel Uqdah, 22, was arrested Wednesday after surveillance footage of the suspect leaving the store and walking into a train station led to numerous tips on his whereabouts.

The accused rapist was armed with several barbecue skewers when he went into the Center City department store Sunday morning with the goal of attacking someone, Philadelphia Police Capt. Mark Burgmann said. “He went into that store at 11:11… Within three minutes, he was in the bathroom,” Burgmann told reporters at a news conference.

Uqdah then waited in the restroom for about 20 minutes until a 55-year-old customer walked into one of the stalls, according to police. “While she’s in the stall, he came over the top of the stall… threatened her, dragged her into a stall a little further down and assaulted her,” Burgmann said.

The man also threatened to stab the victim with his skewers if she screamed and stole about $60 from her before fleeing the store, authorities said.

I’m 66 years old. Still look great for my age, take care of myself, and dress well wherever I go. I am constantly getting hit on by younger black men. I finally decided it’s my hair. It’s platinum. ;)
