The NYPD is on the hunt for an individual linked to an incident of forcible touching in Queens, targeting a 15-year-old girl. The crime took place on November 14, according to a Facebook post from NYPD Crimestoppers. The young victim was reportedly walking near the intersection of Main Street and 39 Avenue when she was approached from behind by the suspect riding a two-wheeled vehicle, who then proceeded to touch her buttocks inappropriately.

While the identity of the suspect remains unknown, authorities are turning to the public for assistance, offering a reward of up to $3,500 for information leading to an arrest.

Riding a two-wheeled vehicle, the suspect’s brazen act in broad daylight raised concerns among residents and highlighted the need for increased vigilance in the area. Anyone with information about this incident can call 800-577-TIPS, or submit a tip anonymously on their website.
