NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police released photos of a man accused of repeatedly groping and following another man on a Queens bus over the weekend.
It happened just after 5 p.m. on Sunday, July 27, as the 20-year-old victim was sitting aboard a Q98 bus approaching the corner of Main Street and Sanford Avenue in Flushing. The suspect sat next to him and began to touch his right thigh and private area, officials said.
