A homeless woman sleeping outside the Staten Island ferry terminal was awakened by a creep sexually assaulting her in a real-life nightmare on Wednesday morning, police said.

The woman, who is known to frequently bunk in the area, was not physically injured during the assault.
The male suspect fled on foot and there have been no arrests.
He is approximately 5-foot-7 with a medium build and light complexion, according to the NYPD.
