Police are searching for a suspect who allegedly performed a lewd act while watching porn on his phone in front of a 16-year-old girl aboard a city bus in Brooklyn in early February.
According to law enforcement sources, the pervy perp boarded the local bus at around 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 10, near Manhattan and Nassau Avenues in Greenpoint. He then chose a seat next to the unsuspecting teen, took out his phone and pulled up pornography displaying naked women, police said.
While scrolling through the skeevy skin pics, the creep repeatedly looked up at the victim and back down at his phone. At one point, he began fondling himself as he continued to watch the obscene material displayed on his screen, authorities said.
The victim was not touched or hurt during the incident. Afterward she reported it to the police, sources said.
The suspect stayed on the bus before fleeing to parts unknown.
On Wednesday, the NYPD released a photo of the suspect, who remains at large. So far, no arrests have been made, but the investigation remains ongoing.
