Police are looking for a man suspected of groping two women on the Upper East Side in separate incidents—and they released surveillance video that show the suspect as being "neatly dressed."
The first incident occurred on February 25: A 33-year-old woman was walking at Park Avenue and East 62nd Street at 12:30 p.m. when the suspect grabbed her inner thigh. Then, two days later, at 1:55 p.m., he grabbed a 19-year-old woman's buttocks at Second Avenue and East 67th Street.
According to police's description, the suspect is white, clean shaven, neatly dressed, with brown hair, about 30 years old, 5 feet 11 inches tall, and 180 pounds.
