Sick moment pervert bicyclist randomly gropes 88-year-old woman’s butt in Brooklyn

Police in New York City are searching for an unhinged pervert who groped an elderly woman’s buttocks on the sidewalk, causing her to fall and break her arm.

The incident unfolded early on Tuesday at about 2.20am in the Bushwick section of Brooklyn, when a man on a bicycle groped the 88-year old woman near the corner of Wyckoff Avenue and Greene Avenue.

Video of the assault shows the deviant attacker sneak up behind the woman as she walks on the sidewalk and grab her behind, all without getting off his bike.

The woman, who appears to be carrying a cane and a shopping bag, whirls around to face her assailant before tripping and falling to the sidewalk.

The victim was transported to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center with a broken left arm and severe injury to her left hip. 

Police say the deranged groper fled southbound on Greene Avenue. 

Surveillance images show the attacker riding a bike and wearing a white helmet, grey T-shirt and dark pants. 

It comes as New York grapples with a disturbing rise in violent crime, with residents especially unsettled by a string of seemingly random attacks on the streets and subways.

On Wednesday, a 20-year-old woman was shot dead at point-blank range on an Upper East Side sidewalk as she pushed her infant child in a stroller. In that case, police are probing a potential domestic violence motive.

Earlier this month, Donny Ubiera, 32, was charged with randomly stabbing two commuters while riding on a Flushing-to-Times Square 7-line subway train. 

One of the victims was stabbed in the face, while the other sustained neck injuries. Ubiera had been released from jail a day before the attacks after he was arrested for flashing a knife at police and refusing to put it away.

In March, event planner Lauren Pazienza, 26, was charged with event planner accused of shoving an 87-year-old Broadway vocal coach to her death on a Manhattan sidewalk while on a ‘wine-fueled rampage’. 

Citywide, major crimes in New York are up 38 percent this year compared to last year, with robbery up 39 percent, burglary rising 34 percent, and felony assault jumping 19 percent.

Sex crimes have also been on the rise, with rape as defined by the FBI up 14 percent so far this year compared to last year, and other sex crimes up 13 percent.

However, murders are down 13 percent from last year, and shooting victims have dropped 9 percent, gains that Adams and police officials attribute to a push to get illegal guns off the streets.

New York Mayor Eric Adams, who is a former NYPD officer, has often been vocal about eradicating crime in the city, but has been slammed for failing to bring the issue under control.

Adams has blamed the matter on lax gun control laws and a court system that is quick to release criminals who re-offend. 

Anyone with information about the Brooklyn groper is urged to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.
