DNA nabs rape-try susp

A DNA MATCH helped police catch the suspect in the attempted rape of a Bronx clothing store clerk nearly two years ago, police sources said.

Cops on Tuesday arrested Oumar Fofana, accusing him of cornering a 41-yearold woman inside the South Bronx store on Aug. 1, 2015.

He walked into the store, — which police have not named, to protect the woman’s identity — at about 1:30 p.m. and browsed the clothes on the rack before he attacked, cops said.

The woman fought him off, and he took off, police said.

The 20-year-old is charged with attempted rape and sexual abuse.

Fofana, who sources said has eight prior arrests, was out on $5,000 bail after a June bust for weapon possession in the Bronx. Sources said police had his DNA in a database following one of his arrests.
