Man arrested in Manhattan after allegedly attacking a NYU student and burglarizing off-campus housing.
James Rizzo, 45, is charged with forcible touching and assault, following an unprovoked attack on a 20-year-old student.
The same suspect allegedly burglarized multiple off-campus apartments near Washington Square Park.
The burglaries involved electronics and other items valued at about $3,150, investigators say.
Police say Rizzo had 16 prior arrests, largely for sexual offenses.
Rizzo had been released from prison in September and had not checked in with parole since Oct. 23, per reports.
Arraignment prompted him to seek supervised release due to housing instability and mental illness, per the defense.
Authorities said they located the suspect after tracing a stolen laptop to a residence.
The NYPD and NYU had not yet commented beyond confirming the arrest and ongoing investigations.
The case has heightened safety concerns near NYU and other campus-adjacent areas.
