NEW YORK (77WABC) — The NYPD is asking for the public’s help in identifying a man in a picture they released Sunday — who allegedly groped a teenage girl on a bus during rush hour last week.
Police say the white-bearded man allegedly approached a 15-year-old on the BX15 before exposing himself and grabbing her thigh. He then fled the bus at 173rd Street and 3rd Avenue in Claremont around 5 p.m.
Cops said that the teen escaped the incident unharmed.
Authorities were asking anyone with information to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.com or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
