Police from the 105th Precinct in Queens Village are looking for a creep who sexually assaulted a 19-year-old woman on board a Q14 MTA bus on Sunday morning.

The victim was inside the bus as it approached the intersection of Rockaway Turnpike and Brookville Boulevard near the Five Towns Shopping Center in Rosedale at 7 a.m. on July 23.

An unidentified man came up behind her and grabbed her rear end and slid his hands down her thigh, police said. The suspect then exited the bus and fled in an unknown direction. The victim was not harmed during the “forcible touching” incident.
