Cops arrested a 68-year-old straphanger they saw grinding up
against a 20-year-old woman on a Midtown subway train, officials said Thursday.
A plainclothes cop first spotted Joseph Wilenkin, of Crown
Heights, Brooklyn, on the platform at Grand Central Station, where the suspect
was eyeing women up while letting a train pass about 4:50 p.m. Monday, court
papers allege.
The suspicious undercover followed Wilenkin onto the next
uptown No. 6 train and saw him allegedly push his groin against the woman’s
backside, despite there being plenty of space behind him.
When the victim moved away, Wilenkin pushed his groin
against her a second time, prosecutors claim. He then bent at the knees to
stare at her face and rear end, according to court papers.
The disgusted victim dashed off the train at E. 86th St. and
cops arrested Wilenkin.
“I could feel his front and side in by back,” the woman told
police, sources said. “I stepped forward and he would move closer”
“When I turned around, I would see him staring at me,” the
rattled woman added.
A judge ordered Wilenkin’s released without bail during a
brief court appearance Thursday morning. He is charged with forcible touching
and sex abuse.
