NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A man offered a 14-year-old girl a cellphone and then groped her on a Bronx street this week, police said Thursday as they released video of a suspect.

The girl was walking at Walton Avenue and East 167th Street in the Concourse section around 7:15 p.m. Monday when the man came up and offered her the phone.

When she declined the offer, the man grabbed her breasts and buttocks, according to police.

The victim refused medical attention at the scene.

The man fled after the attack, but he was captured on nearby surveillance cameras, police said.

The NYPD’s Special Victims Squad is investigating.

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