Police arrested Tonye Iketubosin, a 26-year-old Crown Heights man, after two women report two separate assaults to the New York Police Department, the official said.

One of the women, an 18-year-old Massachusetts native, told police that she got into an argument with the male friend with whom she was sharing a tent at about 6 a.m. Saturday. She left and met Iketubosin, the official said. He offered to let her sleep in his tent, saying he had to go work in the park’s makeshift kitchen.

The alleged victim took Iketubosin up on his offer and went to sleep. But she said she soon awoke to find Iketubosin removing her pants, the official said. She told police she asked him to stop, but he didn’t comply. Then he raped her, the official said.

Who knew sleeping in a tent with a random stranger could be a bad idea?

The man has also been implicated in another incident involving the sexual assault of a 17-year-old girl. Charges are pending.

Iketubosin — who worked in the communal kitchen from which homeless people are ironically banned — is now part of the “Occupy a Jail Cell” movement, which appears to be growing by the day.
