December 25, 2025The NYPD Waited Four Months To Tell Us About An Assault on a 16-Year-Old Girl in Bay Ridge
WANTED FOR FORCIBLE TOUCHING: On Saturday, August 9, 2025, at approximately 1:10 P.M., in the vicinity of 86 Street and 4th Avenue, NYPD 68th Precinct an unidentified individual approached a 16-year-old female victim, grabbed her chest, and attempted to kiss her. Have info? DM @nypdtips or call 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).‘
How is the NYPD allowed to not notify the public for four months and on Christmas Day act as if they are communicating effectively with us?
How many other girls were touched because people were not given this information?
Why didn’t Senator Gounardes or Councilman Brannan share this information with the community? Both have said they talk to the police on a regular basis.
The reality is there is a teenage girl in Bay Ridge who has to be wondering why the 68th Precinct Police failed to take action after a pervert TOUCHED her?! It’s one thing to be quiet during an investigation, but not to mention this for FOUR months?!
