Queens Creep Touches 2nd Girl In Elmhurst, Police Say

ELMHURST, NY — A man already wanted for groping a girl on a Queens sidewalk struck a second time Tuesday morning, police said. The creep allegedly touched a 13-year-old girl inappropriately around 8:20 a.m. near 45th Avenue and Junction Boulevard in Elmhurst, the NYPD said.

He started to walk west on 45th Avenue before doubling back and fleeing east, police said.

The incident came less than a week after the alleged degenerate touched a 10-year-old girl's groin area over her clothes in North Corona last Wednesday, according to police.

The man has been captured on surveillance video. He's described as a Hispanic man in his 30s last seen wearing camouflage shorts, black sneakers and a blue T-shirt with white lettering on the front, the NYPD said.

Anyone with information about the incident can call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-8477 or 1-888-577-4782 to leave a tip in Spanish. New Yorkers can also text tips to 274637 or submit them online at nypdcrimestoppers.com.
