NEW YORK (AP) – The city’s most wanted fugitive has a taste for Guinness. He’s also a fast talker who rolls his own cigarettes.

When eating Chinese, he goes for the beef curry. With extra mustard.

The personal habits and tastes of Peter Braunstein, the urbane and illusive suspect in a bizarre assault on Halloween night, were detailed Friday in a new wanted poster distributed by police.

Investigators want to question Braunstein, 42, in an episode in which a woman was molested for 13 hours at gunpoint by a man who bluffed his way into her apartment by posing as a firefighter coming to her rescue. The former fashion writer has managed to avoid capture for six weeks, despite a $12,000 reward and a tabloid fixation with his exploits.

Police believe Braunstein knew the woman and had an obsession with her. When he emerged as a suspect, people who knew him began telling both reporters and police that he was a brilliant talent with a sadistic streak toward women.

Initially, there were signs the fugitive was staying close to home: Security cameras captured images of him at a motel in midtown Manhattan. Recent reports have suggested he may have since fled to the midwest.

The wanted poster offers the typical grainy mug shot and descriptive fodder – height (5-foot-11), weight (150), aliases (Peter Brown, Peter Grant) and date of birth (1/26/64). What’s unusual is its laundry list of all things Braunstein, including his favorite Chinese dish: “Beef w/curry w/extra mustard.”

It also notes the suspect is “known to drink Guinness and vodka,” speaks fluent French and frequents strip clubs. Because he doesn’t drive, he relies on chauffeured cars.

The poster says he likes to follow women around, then write about them in a journal. It also suggests he’s been staying at motels and paying cash, and using prepaid cellular phones.

Braunstein, it concludes, “is highly intelligent and ‘talks a good talk,’ but should be considered DANGEROUS.”
