QUEENS — A man was arrested Thursday for groping two women as they jogged through Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, police said.

Andres Marrero Fisher, 24, who lives in nearby Pomonok just outside the park, first grabbed a 46-year-old woman's buttocks as she jogged near Jewel Avenue on Tuesday morning before 8 a.m., police said.

On Thursday, he groped another woman by grabbing her buttocks as she ran near Meadow Lake Road at 6:50 a.m.

He was arrested later Thursday and charged with two counts of forcible touching, according to the NYPD.

Marrero Fisher has one prior arrest from 2015, which was sealed, a spokesman for the NYPD said.

Information regarding his lawyer was not immediately available.
