Story out of New York City, New York:
Police say that a suspect who was seen on video grabbing a woman and shoving a bag of feces down her pants struck twice that very day on the Upper East Side.
That attack took place around 6 p.m. Monday on East 74th Street between First and York avenues.
Police said the 27-year-old woman, who was talking on her cell phone, was walking down the street when the man came up from behind, grabbed her waist, shoved the bag in her pants and then grabbed her buttocks.
The man pulled off his rubber gloves and threw them into the street as he stomped away.
The victim sought help at a nearby parking garage afterward. The attendant told the New York Daily News the woman was so shaken she could not even dial 911.
Police said the same suspect is also believed to be involved in a second incident earlier in the day Monday.
In that incident, a 33-year-old woman was walking along 91st Street between Madison and Park avenues around 2:25 p.m., when the suspect threw excrement at her.
“Really disgusting attacks,” said NYPD Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce. “We think it’s the same male. We have members of the 19th Precinct and the Manhattan North Task Force doing grid searches for him now.” Cont. (Video/Autoplay)
