Federal authorities are warning local law enforcement agencies across the country about an alleged serial rapist nicknamed "Zombie Mike."

Michael Hawkins is accused of several sexual assaults in New York, including an attack on a woman who uses a wheelchair.

Investigators believe that he could be in Pennsylvania. He has ties to the area and five other states.

Hawkins is known as "Zombie Mike" because of his poor hygiene.

He has been known to work for traveling carnival companies, and authorities believe that he could be working and traveling with similar companies in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Puerto Rico and states along the East Coast.

There is a $5,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest.

Anyone with information on his whereabouts can contact the U.S. Marshals Service Communications Center at 1-800-336-0102.
