UPDATE: Cops Nab Alleged Groper Targeting Young Girls in Queens
Police in Queens are on the hunt for a man suspected of groping two young girls on the street in the last week.
A 30-something-year-old man was on 104th Street in Corona last Wednesday afternoon when he walked up to a 10-year-old girl standing on the sidewalk and touched her groin over her clothes, the NYPD said.
The man then fled the area on foot in an unknown direction. No injuries were reported.
Hours after releasing surveillance images of the suspect Tuesday, the NYPD linked the suspect to another alleged incident of sexual abuse the same morning. They say he touched a 13-year-old girl inappropriately in the area of 45th Avenue and Junction Boulevard at about 8:20 a.m. Tuesday.
The NYPD has released surveillance images (above) of the man they want to find.
Witnesses are urged to call Crime Stoppers with tips.
