Police are looking for a man that inappropriately touched a Jewish girl while walking on a Boro Park street on Chol Hamoed Pesach.

The NYPD says that on Wednesday, April 24, 2019, at approximately 5:50PM, a 13-year-old girl was walking home in the vicinity of 47th Street and 12th Avenue, when she was approached from behind by an unidentified male. He grabbed her inappropriately, and then immediately fled in an unknown direction.

Thankfully, the victim was not injured as a result of this incident.

It is unknown why the NYPD has first released the footage to the public nearly two weeks after this highly disturbing incident.

The person wanted for questioning is described as a male Hispanic, approximately 20 years of age, 5’6″, 140lbs; last seen wearing a gray shirt and black jeans.

Anyone with information in regard to the identity of this male is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM, on Twitter @NYPDTips

All calls are strictly confidential.
