"Brooklyn detectives are looking for a man they say groped two women in Greenpoint on Saturday, releasing surveillance stills and asking neighbors to help put a name to the face. According to police, the suspect first grabbed a 24-year-old woman's breasts and buttocks over her clothing. In a separate encounter not long after, he allegedly pressed his groin against a 25-year-old woman's buttocks, then took off on foot.
