ASTORIA, NY (PIX11) -- Cops in Queens are warning women to be on guard for a sexual predator targeting Asian women in their 20's and 30's.

No woman has been raped, but some have been treated for wounds to their face, head, hands and legs.
"I'm on guard," said Theresa Sangcap when PIX11 pointed out the corner outside an Astoria nightclub where the first attack took place. She said she was always nervous when she worked at night; now she tries to be home before dark.
Melody Tian of Flushing said she always plays it cautious. "I never go out alone after 9 p.m." When not out with her boyfriend, she says she makes sure to have two girlfriends by her side.
The attacks took place at 37-04 Bowne Street, 44-35 Colden Street, and the intersections of 28th Street and 34th Avenue, and Sanfird Ave. and 147th Street.
