The NYPD along with Williamsburg Shomrim (WSPU) are investigating an incident involving a forcible touching of a child.

Law enforcement sources tell YWN that the troubling incident happened around 9:30AM, Sunday, at the corner of Flushing Avenue and Nostrand Avenue in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. The victim, an 11-year-old child was touched inappropriately by a Hispanic male walking on the street. The frightened child ran to school and did not tell anyone about the incident until his father came to pick him up around 12:00 noon. At that time, police and Shomrim were called, and an NYPD Level 1 Mobilization Response was requested.

Security camera footage of the incident has reportedly been obtained, and detectives are going through it.

Police are looking for a Hispanic male approximately 25 years old. He was wearing blue shorts, puffy jacket, carrying a big bag. 5’6.

If you have any information which can assist police, please call 911 and WSPU at 718-237-0202.
