Police need the public’s help in
finding the perverted creep who tried
to sexually assault a young woman on
a public bench in Brooklyn on Easter
Sunday.
The NYPD released on Monday
night an image of the deviant responsible
for the attack that occurred in
broad daylight, at about 12:15 p.m. on
April 17, in the area of Grand Army
Plaza.
According to law enforcement
sources, the creep was masturbating
outside the Grand Army Plaza station
on the 2/3 line when he noticed the
29-year-old woman exiting from the
subway stop, and began following her.
Authorities said he continued
pleasuring himself as he confronted
the victim, then pulled her down
onto a nearby bench. Sources said he
pulled his genitalia toward her while
holding her head.
Seconds later, cops said, he abandoned
the attack and ran into nearby
Prospect Park through the Grand
Army Plaza entrance.
The incident was reported to the
78th Precinct. The woman, who did
not know her attacker, did not suffer
any physical injuries, police sources
said.
As shown in the security camera
image, the suspect was shown wearing
a black-and-white hat, sunglasses,
a gray mask, a gray sweater and lightcolored
pants.
Anyone with information regarding
the sexual assault can call
