“The victim states he observed through his window an individual outside on the fire escape,” the NYPD report stated, Fox News Digital reported. “The man appeared to be filming.”

The suspect allegedly “fled the scene” once authorities arrived on the scene, according to Fox News Digital. The suspect allegedly escaped in a “white Mercedes,” a law enforcement source told Fox News Digital. The suspect allegedly jumped from the fire escape to the ground, TMZ reported.

The investigation remains active, and no suspect has been identified or arrested, according to Fox News Digital.

The legendary comedian released a Netflix special in March, in which he broke his silence on the Will Smith slap incident that occurred at the 2022 Oscars. The special, which was Netflix’s first-ever live programming, debuted at number seven on the U.S. Chart, according to Variety.
