Man Arrested For Groping Teens Outside Broadway Theater: Police

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — A man is facing charges for groping teenage girls outside of a Broadway theater, police said.

Hosny Elsayed, 46, was arrested Tuesday and charged with four counts of forcible touching and four counts of sexual abuse, police said. Elsayed is accused of groping four teenage girls outside of the Broadhurst Theater on West 44th Street between Seventh and Eighth avenues on two different occasions.

On Friday, June 22 Elsayed approached three teenage girls — ages 15, 16 and 19 — as they stood in a group of people outside the Broadhurst Theater after a performance of the musical "Anastasia," police said. Elsayed is accused of reaching under the 15-year-old's dress and groping her before rubbing his genitals against the 16- and 19-year-old girls, police said.

Elsayed, a resident of Hell's Kitchen, is also accused of groping a 16-year-old girl at the same theater the night before, police said.
