The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s help locating the man seen in the attached photo who they said is wanted in connection with an aggravated harassment incident that occurred in Bedford Park.

Police said that on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at around 12.37 in the afternoon, the person, identified as Dimitry Rappoport, 41, sent an email to Lehman College, located at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard in Bedford Park, and threatened a New York City sheriff. They said he is being sought for aggravated harassment.

Norwood News asked the NYPD if they could provide further clarity or context around why the person would have contacted Lehman College to threaten a New York City sheriff. We did not receive an immediate response.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or, for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crimestoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on X @NYPDTips.
