NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for a man who they say groped a 14-year-old girl and a woman in the Bronx within hours of each other in October.

The NYPD released surveillance images Monday of the suspect.

On Oct. 24, the teen was walking along Paul Avenue and West Mosholu Parkway South in Van Cortlandt Village when the suspect approached her around 8:10 a.m., grabbed her buttocks and fled on foot.

Less than three hours later, the same man approached a 27-year-old woman inside a residential building on Holland and Lydig avenues in Pelham Parkway around 10:40 a.m. and rubbed himself against the woman's buttocks, then fled again.

Neither of the victims was physically injured during the incident.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
