Police believe the ex-boyfriend lived downstairs from the woman and attacked her after managing to get into her apartment, the Daily News reported. The woman had an order of protection against him after a history of domestic violence, according to the Daily News. The 27-year-old victim was attacked when the suspect broke in at about 8:45 p.m. after he unsuccessfully attempted to enter through a fire escape hours earlier, police said.
