Authorities are actively searching for an individual suspected of engaging in disturbing acts of groping involving tween girls on buses in South Brooklyn
The suspect allegedly subjected two young victims to unwelcome sexual advances last month. The most recent incident occurred on May 30 at approximately 4:30 p.m. on the B46 bus, near Foster Ave. in East New York. Reportedly, the man touched the private parts of a 14-year-old girl during the journey. In a separate incident on May 10, at around 8:23 p.m., the suspect is said to have pressed his crotch against a 13-year-old girl on the B103 bus, near E. 77th St. in Canarsie.
