Man Groped Woman On Sunset Park Bus, Police Say

SUNSET PARK, NY — A man repeatedly touched a woman's leg while she was riding a bus in Sunset Park last month, police said.

The 29-year-old woman was on a B63 bus heading toward Bay Ridge on May 17 when an unknown man sat down next to her while it was near the corner of 50th Street and Fifth Avenue, the NYPD said.

The man placed his hand on her leg at about 11:20 a.m. and she took it off, police said.

A short time later, he put his hand on her right leg and started moving it up her leg, authorities said. The woman told him to stop, got up and moved to another seat.

Police released surveillance footage of the man on Thursday and described him as about 40-years-old, 160 pounds and 5-feet 3-inches with brown eyes and short dark hair.

Anyone with information in regards to the above incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
