Police Arrest Man In Subway Groping Incident

Police sketches still hang in the windows of local businesses

This past Wednesday, a man was arrested in Sunset Park for allegedly groping a woman at the 36th street D/N/R station at 4th Avenue. Though little information about the incident has been released, detectives told Community Board 7 members that they are still trying to determine if this suspect was involved in any of the other attacks spanning back to last Spring.

This attack comes on the heels of a New Year's Eve attack, in which a 23 year-old woman walking down 4th Avenue near 19th street around 1:30AM when she was grabbed from behind by a man described as Hispanic, in his mid-twenties and weighing between 150-175 lbs. The woman's boyfriend, who was walking with her, confronted the man, who fled the scene.

Ladies, if it's too frigid outside to grasp pepper spray with your bare hand while walking at night, there are still plenty of Brutus the Bulldog self defense keychains available for purchase. Grrrrrr.
