A woman was repeatedly assaulted while in a Brooklyn deli last weekend, and police are still searching for the suspect. Security camera video shows a man groping the victim, then leaving the deli, only to return to slap her on the buttocks.
The incident took place at 12:35 a.m. on March 16th, inside the Dekalb Deli at 106 Dekalb Avenue in Fort Greene. According to the NYPD, the suspect "tried to engage the 29-year-old female victim in conversation" but when she "rebuffed his advances, the individual forcibly groped her.
