BROOKLYN, NY — A groper who grabbed two women walking on Brooklyn streets remains on the loose, police said.

The as-yet-unidentified man allegedly assaulted a 26-year-old woman in front of 14 Boerum Place, near the corner of Livingston Street, during the early morning hours of June 6, according to police. The suspect reportedly approached the woman, grabbed her buttocks, and pressed his body against her multiple times before fleeing on foot northbound on Adam Street.

The woman didn't suffer any physical injuries, police said.

Approximately 30 minutes later, the same man allegedly approached a 31-year-old woman from behind in front of 286 Cadman Plaza West, police said. He reportedly grabbed her waist, pulled her against him, and pressed his groin against her buttocks over her clothing multiple times before fleeing on foot southbound on Clinton Street.

She suffered a minor right knee injury but was not hospitalized, authorities said.

Officials described the groper as a man with a slim build and dark complexion who was last seen wearing brown sweatpants and a brown hooded sweatshirt.

NYPD officials say that anyone with information about this forcible touching pattern can call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
