BRONX - Cops are looking for a man who groped a female shopper as she was walking to her car in the parking lot of the Bay Plaza Mall outside Co-op City.




At around 4:30 pm on September 27, a 19-year-old woman was walking in the parking lot of the Bay Plaza Mall when she was approached by a man wearing a Yankee cap and a Gap sweatshirt. The suspect attempted to engage the woman in conversation as she continued walking.




When the woman brushed off his request, cops say the suspect grabbed the woman’s buttocks and genitals. After groping the victim as she fought him off, the suspect ran into the mall and blended in with the crowd of shoppers. 




However, it was inside the mall  that police got an image of the groper on surveillance video. Cops combing through surveillance video “found” the suspect that the victim then identified as her attacker.



The suspect is described as a male with medium skin-tone, approximately 21 years old, 5 foot 7, and 185 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue NY Yankee hat, grey sweatshirt, blue jeans and black / white sneakers.


Anyone with information should 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 CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips. 


All calls remain confidential.
