Police are looking for a light-skinned man in his early 20’s that reportedly grabbed a 16-year-old girl’s buttocks in Flushing.
According to DCPI, the victim was walking in front of 138-12 60th Avenue at about 1:30 p.m. on November 17, when the man approached her and attempted to engage her in conversation. When she attempted to leave, the suspect grabbed her and then fled the scene.

Min-Tsu Lin was engaging in his routine morning stroll when he was struck by a motorcycle on Parsons Blvd. near Rose Ave. in Flushing about 5:45 a.m., the Daily News reported.
The cold-hearted cyclist left his wheels and fled on foot after the accident, police said.
When first responders arrived, the senior was lying in the road unconscious. He was knocked out of his shoes and lying in a pool of his own blood. The upended blue motorcycle lay about 100 feet away, witnesses said.
Lin was rushed to New York-Presbyterian/Queens with critical injuries, officials said.
“His right leg had to be amputated and he has bad bruising,” the victim’s son, Tom Lin, 43, told the Daily News. “He hasn’t been conscious.”
The motorcyclist is still being sought by cops.
How does one go about successfully stealing an eye-catching $450,000 white Lamborghini Aventador convertible?
The Michigan-based firm Pinkerton has launched a private investigation into the missing vehicle that was stolen outside of the Al Oerter Recreation Center on October 28. They are offering a $100,000 reward for anyone who can provide information on the location of the car.
They are worried that the car might already be shipped off to a foreign market in either Asia, Russia, South America, Africa or the Middle East.
“With an exotic car like that, you can’t sell it here and you can’t drive around in it,” Chris McGoey, a private investigator and expert in crime and loss prevention, said to Fox News. “The only option is to ship it overseas, somewhere that nobody really checks on registration of cars.”
Oddly, the NYPD have no police reports regarding the missing vehicle and the car’s ownership hasn’t been identified.
Someone has clearly watched one too many ‘Fast and Furious’ films.

On Oct. 28 at about 7:30 p.m., police say a man – described as as a male in his 40’s who was last seen wearing a hooded sweatshirt, black head cover and sweatpants – entered a commercial business at 132-15 41st Ave., through a rear window. Once inside, he allegedly removed a computer, iPhone and about $300 in cash from the desk in the reception area.
The office was unoccupied so nobody was hurt, as a result of the alleged burglary.
