Reports of multiple groping incidents just days apart in the same part of Queens, with suspects preying on young girls on their way to school, have alarmed the community — and police suspect two men are behind the troubling attacks.
One of the incidents involving preteen girls happened Wednesday, Sept. 18, when a man used a dog"to entice the girls into a conversation" while on a city bus, according NYPD Chief John Chell.The unidentified man carrying a chihuahua approached an 11-year-old girl on a crowded Q58 MTA bus around 7:30 a.m. and allegedly put his hands on her chest. Then, less than 10 minutes later, police said he inappropriately grabbed another 11-year-old girl.
"This man is intentionally using a puppy to sexually abuse girls on the way to school, on a bus," Chell told NBC New York.Images of the suspect released by the NYPD show the man with curly hair who's approximately 30 to 45 years old, and he was last seen carrying around the dog. He was wearing a black baseball cap, yellow jacket and black sweatpants.A second groper was discovered after an additional incident just two days later, on Friday.
