Serial Groper Strikes On Manhattan's East Side

Police are searching for a man suspected of groping at least three women in a two-hour period this past Wednesday. According to WABC 7: "The suspect first accosted a woman at a Rite-Aid drugstore on Second Avenue at East 30th Street at around 6:15 p.m. He allegedly put his hand up the woman's skirt, grabbed her crotch and buttocks and ran out of the store. Next, he did the same thing to a woman in the lobby of her building on Second Avenue near East 36th Street at around 7 p.m... He then allegedly assaulted a 27-year-old woman in the elevator of her building on East 56th Street near Third Avenue at 8:15 p.m." Police say the suspect is around 5'10" and 200-240 pounds, in his 30s or 40s with long black hair (he may be Native American). And an East Side resident told WCBS 2, "It's scary. I have a 6-year-old daughter. Can you imagine some man comes up from behind and grabs you? Scary."
