Man Accused of Groping NYC Marathon Runner Waiting for Light After Race

A 31-year-old man has been arrested on sex abuse and assault charges for allegedly squeezing a woman's buttocks and breast as she waited for a light to change after running the 2014 TCS New York City Marathon in November.

Carlous Hamilton, of Brooklyn, was arrested Wednesday night. He allegedly grabbed the 29-year-old woman's buttocks shortly after noon Nov. 2 at the corner of Fifth Avenue and West 37th Street, then squeezed her breast when she turned around to confront him.

The woman's hand was cut as she tried to fight off the advances.

It wasn't immediately clear if Hamilton had an attorney.
