A man accused of strangling a woman outside a Times Square hotel in New York City last week and dumping her body has been arrested, authorities said. 

Jaheem Warren, 33, allegedly targeted Leslie Torres, 23, at random as she walked through Midtown Manhattan on Oct. 29, the New York Police Department said. 

An unconscious Torres was dumped in front of the Riu Plaza New York Times Square Hotel, where she was found by hotel staff.
