The NYPD says a man lured a young girl into his car last week in the Bronx, drove her to a different neighborhood in the borough and raped her.

Police released surveillance footage of a heavy set bald man they say they want to question in connection with the sex attack that happened on Friday at around 10:30 p.m. on Elder Avenue in Soundview.

Cops claim a suspect approached the 12-year-old girl while in his black SUV and somehow got her to get into his vehicle. Police say he then drove her from Soundview to a hotel in Pelham Bay, where the girl was raped.

After the attack, the girl was taken to an area hospital, where she is in stable condition.
