BRONX LOCAL NEWS - The NYPD is looking for a man for allegedly groping a female rider on a Bronx MTA bus. The suspect also broke the victim’s phone when she tried to take a photo of the suspect.



The NYPD is asking for the public’s help identifying a man wanted in connection with a forcible touching incident that took place on Halloween morning in the Bronx.



According to police the incident took place around 10 a.m. on October 31, aboard a BX19 MTA bus as it approached East 149th Street and Brook Avenue — within the 40th Precinct.


Investigators say a 36-year-old woman was on the bus when an unidentified man came up from behind and repeatedly pressed his body against her over her clothing. 


When the victim tried to take a photo of the suspect, police say he knocked the phone out of her hand, causing a small cut on her finger. The man then took off on foot in an unknown direction. The woman refused medical attention at the scene.



The suspect is described as a male who was last seen wearing a dark-colored sweatshirt, a black vest, gray sweatpants, and blue-and-white sneakers.



If you recognize this individual or have any information about the incident, you’re urged to contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). Spanish-speaking callers can dial 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). Tips can also be submitted online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org or via X (formerly Twitter) at @NYPDTips.
