NEW YORK — A New York City creep tackled a woman and reached down the back side of her shorts in an alarming crime that was caught-on-video this week in Brooklyn.
The unnamed woman, 35, was walking south on Morgan Avenue in Williamsburg at 8:10 p.m. Monday when she noticed a stranger was following her, police said.
As a result, the woman redirected her path and headed west on Stagg Street. Nevertheless, the suspect remained behind her, New York Post reported.
Suddenly, the man sped up and jumped on the victim’s back, tackling her. While holding her down, he reached into her shorts and grabbed her buttocks, footage released by NYPD early Thursday shows.
The perpetrator fled on foot, running east on Stagg Street.
The victim declined medical treatment.
