MANHATTAN — Cops are hunting an overweight man who allegedly forcibly touched an 11-year-old girl inside a Gramercy Dunkin' Donuts last week.

The incident unfolded at 361 E. 21st St. about 11:30 a.m. on March 7, when a heavy-set, white male with short gray hair between 50 and 60 years old approached the girl, touched her inappropriately and fled the scene, police said.
