Cops in Chinatown are looking for a creep who molested and robbed a young woman over the weekend.
According to police sources, the assault occurred on Sunday at around 11:37 p.m. on Feb. 16 near a salon on 26 Jefferson St.
The victim, a 21-year-old woman was walking along the sidewalk when, cops said, the pervert snuck up on her from behind.
Law enforcement sources said the suspect then grabbed the woman’s breasts before pushing her to the ground. He then groped her crotch and yanked her purse away, then ran away northbound on Jefferson Street.
The victim was not seriously injured as a result of the attack, which was reported to the 7th Precinct.
Police describe the man as ranging in age from 30 to 40 and standing about 5 feet, 10 inches tall. He was last seen wearing a black winter coat with a fur hood, black pants, black and white sneakers, a baseball cap, and glasses.
Detectives are asking anyone who recognizes him to contact them.
