JACKSON HEIGHTS — A man followed a teen girl into her apartment building last month and groped her in an elevator, police say.

The suspect trailed the 15-year-old victim onto the elevator of her building near 70th Street and Northern Boulevard around 9:20 p.m. on Aug. 13, according to police.

While in the elevator, he grabbed her breast and buttocks and fled, police said.

He's described as being in his late teens to early 20s and weighing approximately 135 pounds, according to the NYPD. He was seen on video wearing a gray shirt and blue shorts.
