NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for a man on a moped who has been riding up to women and groping them as they walk in Brooklyn.
Police believe the man is responsible for targeting at least three women over a two-hour span last Saturday morning.
They said the man first targeted a 48-year-old woman as she was walking near Ralph Avenue and MacDonough Street in Bedford-Stuyvesant around 6:45 a.m. The man approached her from behind and slapped her backside, police said.
Less than two hours later, around 8:10 a.m., the man rode up to a 35-year-old woman walking on Gates Avenue, near Classon Avenue, in Bedford-Stuyvesant and grabbed her rear-end, police said.
The suspect struck a third time in Crown Heights 15 minutes after that. Police said he went up to a 25-year-old woman on Atlantic Avenue, near Kingston Avenue, and grabbed her backside.
The NYPD released surveillance video of the suspect on Saturday.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
