NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for a man with long red hair and a beard who crossed the street to grope a woman in Williamsburg last month.

The 33-year-old victim was walking on Humboldt Street near Skillman Avenue around 5:30 p.m. on April 15 when the man crossed the street and approached her from behind, officials said.

He reportedly grabbed the woman’s crotch before fleeing on foot toward Woodpoint Road.

The victim was not injured by the attack.
