The New York Police Department said that the couple conspired to lure the woman into the building so that he can sexually assault her.
The incident unfolded in Manhattan on Wednesday.
27-year-old Muhsana Owens lured the 27-year-old unidentified woman into a room in the building, which provides housing for low-income workers and the homeless, around 2:00 p.m.
Once in the room, Owens left and locked the door. The husband, 27-year-old Adell Hardwick, then pounced on the woman and sexually assaulted her.
Owens was arrested, but her sick husband is still on the loose. The victim was taken to the St. Luke’s Hospital, where she was treated and released.
