Three women were attacked in an upper Manhattan park within the span of about an hour on Wednesday, and police are investigat­ing whether one suspect is behind the incidents, the NYPD said.

A brute crept up on a 34-yearold woman in Inwood Hill Park at about 10:50 a.m., said he wanted to rape her and then punched her, police said.

He then stole the woman’s iPhone, Apple watch and earbuds and fled, cops said.

At about 11:30 a.m., a man threatened to rob a 40-year-old woman walking her dog in the park before telling her he wanted to sexually assault her, police said.

The suspect ran off when she called out for help, according to police.

And just before noon, a woman, 44, was walking her dog when a man attempted to whack her in the head with a branch, authoritie­s said, then tried to pull her pants down, and finally fled.

That woman was taken to Harlem Hospital, where she was in stable condition, police said.

No arrests had been made as of Wednesday night.
