BRONX - A teenage girl on her way to school was groped by a man while riding a city bus in the Bronx. 


At around 7:50 am, the 15-year-old girl was riding the BX#19 bus in Morris Heights on her way to school. When the bus hit the intersection of Tremont and University Avenue she felt someone grope her. A man grabbed her buttocks and then exited the bus. 


Before the groper made a clean get away, a fellow rider snapped a photo of him and gave it to police. He was last seen wearing a long black puffy jacket with fur collar and sported a black doo rag.
