⬛ MANHATTAN
▀ Sugar Hill: Groper Nailed Months After Attacking 2 Older Women
A PERNICIOUS PERV was nabbed after violating two women.
The 20-year-old was reeled on March 20 — two days after his latest criminal conquest.
The sicko allegedly was trailing a 70-year-old woman walking into a building located on Harlem River Drive and Frederick Douglass Boulevard on the night of March 18.
When she entered the edifice the goon grabbed her from behind and forcibly fondled her breasts and buttocks.
The senior victim slipped his clutches and dashed into her apartment.
Her attacker rushed after her and attempted to open the door without success. He was taken into custody two days later by Manhattan’s Special Victims investigators and slapped with attempted rape, sex abuse, forcible touching assault (victim 65 or older) and sexually motivated burglary
They tied him to two previous incidents where he targeted female prey.
Twice on Nov. 7, the suspect allegedly followed a 65-year-old woman stepping into a building on 147th Street and Seventh Avenue and then bailed.
That same day the punk pulled up the skirt of a 27-year-old and clenched her buttocks as she was walking on West 150th Street off Seventh Avenue.
Cops caught up to the touchy-feely fiend and he was charged with sex abuse and forcible touching.

▀ Highbridge: Crossing Guard Suckerpunched
A HAYMAKING ROGUE leveled an NYPD School Crossing Guard.
The 46-year-old woman was working her post at the intersection of Gerard Avenue and East 167 Street on the school morning of March 4.

He then took off running northbound on Gerard Avenue.
The injured crossing guard was treated at the scene by medics. She then traveled on her own to a local hospital for further evaluation.
Cops circulated her tussling assailant’s image in hopes of getting a lead on his whereabouts to cuff and book him.
▀ Olinville: ‘Give Me All Your Money And Phone!’ Barked Repeatedly By Faux Gun-Toting Fool
A NO GOOD goon snuck up on a man with a pretend pistol and robbed him blind.
The 26-year-old stealthily crept up on a man who was walking along Perry Avenue at around Noon on Feb. 8.

“Give me all your money and phone,” he allegedly ordered before repeating it again. “Give me all your money and phone.”
