A 45-year-old with a long rap sheet was arrested Sunday morning and charged with raping an 11-year-old girl in Brooklyn, police said.
Andre Clarke allegedly raped the young girl inside her Brownsville apartment around 9 a.m Saturday, police said.
The girl was taken to a local hospital in stable condition.
Clarke fled in a car following the alleged rape but was arrested after he was found in Queens.
Clarke is known to the young girls’ family, according to police sources but the details of the relationship remain unclear.
He is facing three counts of rape, sexual assault, and acting in a manner injurious to a child.
Police are looking into the possibility that there were other victims.
Clarke has 11 prior arrests including theft, robbery, menacing, harassment, driving while intoxicated and assault, according to sources.
In his most recent arrest on Jan. 22, Clarke attacked a 41-year-old woman in her home, allegedly repeatedly hitting her all over the body causing bruising to her face and chest.
He was charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon, according to sources who added that there was an order of protection issued in this case.
