A parolee with a lengthy rap sheet was arrested Tuesday for allegedly raping a woman after he followed her inside her Soho apartment building, police and law enforcement sources said.


Ellow Williams, 30, was picked up by the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force on the Lower East Side and charged over the disturbing weekend attack on a 23-year-old victim, police and sources said.


Williams allegedly threatened to shoot the woman after he covertly followed her into the building shortly after 4 a.m. on Sunday, police said. Before sneaking inside, the sicko hid behind a parked car, according to surveillance footage obtained by police.

“She enters the apartment with her key fob into the lobby. While the door is still open, the perp runs in behind,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said during a press briefing Tuesday.
