Moped-Riding Man Goes On Groping Spree Through BK Streets: Cops

BROOKLYN, NY — Cops are searching for a moped-riding man who groped at least three women as he cruised through the streets of Brooklyn last Saturday.

The man first rode up and slapped a 48-year-old woman on the butt as she was walking on the corner of Ralph Avenue and MacDonough Street in Bed-Stuy around 6:45 a.m. on Aug. 22, police said.

He then grabbed a 35-year-old woman's butt just after 8 a.m. as she was walking near 241 Gates Avenue, police said.

Just minutes later, around 8:25 a.m., the same man rode up to a 25-year-old woman on Atlantic Avenue and grabbed her butt, police said.

Police said the man has a medium build, is approximately 5'7" tall, weights about 150 pounds and was last seen wearing a black hooded jacket, dark green pants with a gold stripe on each side, black gloves and a blue surgical face mask.

He was caught on surveillance video after the first incident. None of the women were injured from the groping, police said. They are searching for the man on forcible touching charges.
