Just before 10 p.m., on Wednesday, March 22, a 19-year-old woman was walking to her residence near the vicinity of East 95th Street and Willmohr Street in Brownsville, when the suspect followed her and grabbed her buttocks over her clothing without permission to do so, officials said.

The suspect fled on foot heading toward Church Avenue.

The victim did not sustain any injuries as a result of this incident.

Police said the suspect was last seen wearing a blue hooded jacket and a black face mask.
