UPPER EAST SIDE — The man who prosecutors claim crammed poop down a woman's pants and wiped feces across another woman's face has been deemed unfit to stand trial.

Ekwan Hill, 42, first attacked a 33-year-old woman on East 91st Street at 2:30 p.m. on June 27, by rubbing feces into her face and mouth with his open hand, police said. Then he threw more poop at her and another person and fled, according to NYPD officials and the complaint.

Then at roughly 6:13 p.m. the same day, he grabbed a 27-year-old woman by the waist on East 74th Street and pushed poop down her pants and smeared it on her butt, the complaint states.

Hill was arrested on July 1 at a Brooklyn shelter and charged with sexual abuse, menacing, public urination and harassment after the July incidents and was given a court-ordered psychiatric exam last month.

In court on Wednesday, results determined that he is not mentally fit for trial, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

Hill will only be arraigned when the State Commissioner of Mental Health deems him competent, DA spokeswoman Caitlyn Fowles said.

Hill has 21 prior arrests, including charges of assault and criminal possession of marijuana, according to police.

His attorney did not immediately return a call for comment on Wednesday.
