The NYPD boosted patrols in Central Park after a knife-wielding stranger raped a woman in the iconic greenspace, the department said Monday.   The ramped-up police presence comes as authorities advised the public to be on the lookout for the slender, bearded predator in all black who sexually assaulted a 39-year-old woman in a wooded area on the east side of the park Saturday night.   “The NYPD has increased patrols in Central Park,” officials said in a statement.
