THE BRONX — Police are asking for help finding a teen who they say groped two women 15 minutes apart in Melrose Tuesday night.

In the first incident, he grabbed the buttocks of a 39-year-old woman walking on Elton Avenue at East 156th Street about 10 p.m., police said.

Fifteen minutes later, he grabbed a woman’s breast as she walked in front of 2882 Third Ave., near East 150th Street, the NYPD said. Neither victim was physically injured.

The suspect is described as a black male, about 16 years old, 5-foot-8 with brown eyes and short black hair. He was last seen wearing a blue football jersey, blue shorts and white sneakers.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
