Man just released from jail allegedly assaults woman in Manhattan

A creep who claimed he was armed — and just released from jail — sexually assaulted a woman in the West Village this week, cops said.

The 20-year-old victim was walking alone after she left a friend at a bus stop at West 14th Street and Eighth Avenue early Sunday, according to police.

When she reached Barrow and Greenwich streets just after 2:30 a.m., a man came up from behind and shoved her to the ground, cops said.
