Police are looking for a male suspect wanted in connection with a forcible touching incident which took place on the Upper East Side last month. Officials are hoping someone from the public will be able to assist them in identifying and locating the wanted individual.
According to the police report, the incident occurred on Saturday, August 17 at about 4 p.m.
A 20-year-old female was “working inside [an undisclosed] commercial establishment” at or near 86th and Lexington Avenue “when an unidentified individual walked behind her and grabbed her buttocks,” NYPD authorities say. “The male then fled the location to parts unknown. The victim was not injured.”
The wanted individual is described as a male who was last seen wearing a black shirt, blue jeans and a light-colored baseball cap.
Anyone with relevant information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
