Police from the 109th Precinct in Flushing are still looking for a creep who groped a 34-year-old woman on Northern Boulevard in broad daylight late last month.
The incident occurred at around 3 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 26, when the victim was standing in front of 138-18 Northern Blvd. A stranger approached the woman and forcibly grabbed her breast, police said Wednesday. The perpetrator fled the scene on foot, traveling northbound on Union Street. He remains at large more than three weeks later.
The NYPD released surveillance video showing the suspect walking past a nearby construction site and looking back a few times to see if he was being followed. He is described as having a medium complexion and was wearing a dark-colored baseball cap, a blue long-sleeved shirt over a white t-shirt, blue jeans and gray work boots.
Anyone with information regarding this forcible touching investigation is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or on X (the platform formerly known as Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.
Through Oct. 13, the 109th Precinct has reported 76 sex crimes so far in 2024, seven fewer than the 83 reported at the same point last year, a decline of 8.4%, according to the most recent CompStat report.
