Police Search For Man Who Sexually Attacked Girl In Williamsburg
October 05, 2006
Police are searching for a man they say may have sexually assaulted two seven-year-old Hasidic girls in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn Wednesday night.
Police say the suspect approached the girls around 9 p.m. at the intersection of Ross Street and Lee Avenue.
He asked for directions and one of the girls followed him into an alley. That's where police say the man kissed and fondled her. He drove off in a dark SUV when an adult came upon the scene.
Residents say they cannot believe what happened.
"This is a safe neighborhood. And you begin to seem to think you can't let your little kids out into the neighborhood, on the streets," said resident Deborah Werczberger. "I have an right office over here, I'd never think it would happen."
The suspect is described as a light-skinned male, approximately 30-years-old wearing a denim jacket and blue jeans.
Anyone with any information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.

Child sexually assaulted in alley
Police: Girls father stumbled onto the attack, chased the suspect who fled in an SUV
Police say the man jumped into a dark SUV and drove off, as the father tried to hold on to the vehicle's door. The father may have caused some damage to the door as the driver sped off.
Police quickly called a Level 1 mobilization and a large number of officers responded to search for evidence. The incident stirred fear in the tight-knit neighborhood, where kids often play in the streets unattended by parents but always under the watchful eye of neighbors.
Meanwhile, one man, 41-year-old Alfigo Herrara, was charged with endangering the welfare of a child and public lewdness for one of a string of as many as five attempted abductions in nearby Borough Park during April and May. The others remained unsolved.
There was initially not enough detail to determine if this assault fit any existing patterns.
