The NYPD is on the lookout for a man who exposed himself at least eight times to several underage girls in three Queens neighborhoods, including Woodside.

The incidents range between May and November, where a man described as white or white-Hispanic in his 20s approached victims between the ages of 11 and 15 in Woodside, Ridgewood, and Maspeth, and exposed his penis to them, according to police.

The man’s tactics include approaching the underage girls and asking them for a piece of paper before exposing his groin. He then flees the scene on his bike. Other methods include making a statement to get the victim’s attention and exposing his penis to them once they turn, police said.

In the first two incidents, both recorded on May 11, the man approached a 13-year-old victim near 48th Street and Laurel Hill Boulevard at around 7:24 a.m. and exposed his penis to her after asking for a piece of paper, according to police. Nearly an hour later, one block away from Grover Cleveland High School in Ridgewood, the man employed the same tactic on a 14-year-old girl. Both victims were not physically injured, police said.

Two more incidents involving the man asking for a piece of paper and fleeing on his bike after showing his penis are recorded—an incident near Ridgewood’s Evergreen Park on the afternoon of Sept. 20, where the victim was a 15-year-old, and another one block away from Ridgewood’s I.S. 77 on the afternoon of Oct. 2, where the victim was a 12-year-old, according to police.

In the four other incidents, taking place on May 30, June 2, Oct. 17, and two on Nov. 2, the man exposed his penis to a 13-year-old, a 14-year-old, a 12-year-old, an 11-year-old, and a 12 and 13-year-old, respectively, after making statements to get their attention, police said. He then fled on his bike. None of the underage girls were physically hurt, according to police.

Police have released surveillance photo and video of the suspect. The photo is from a May 30 incident near 51st Ave and 72nd Place in Woodside. The video first shows a clip from an Oct. 2 incident, and another clip from an Oct. 17 incident, both in Ridgewood.

The man is also described with a height of 5’10”. He wears a jacket with white stripes on the sleeves and shoulders, and rides a bicycle with classic drop-style handlebars, according to police.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or for Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers Website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or texting their tips to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

Bike guy is welcome to hang with me at Starbucks and drink Salted Carmel Lattes with me anytime. Just come into Starbucks and look for the person wearing the mismatched communist colored clothing with dirty Pro Keds…that’s me!

Bruno, you really are a low life joking about this matter! I challenge you to a game of Parcheesi at Starbucks.

grab em by the penny-farthing

Disgusting. This kind of brazen sexual harassment is what we’d expect from our president, not upstanding members of our community.

All your precious Hollywood stars that you so idolize and look up to and set the “moral” agenda for the country because whatever they say must be right you know. All are a bunch of sicko pedos, and Weinstein… don’t even get me started!

thanks for agreeing Trump is a sexual predator

Great point, our president is just as bad of a sexual predator as the people you mentioned.

There’s actually no bike lane here, don’t take my word for it, there’s a video directly above.

Your tired rant is even more pointless on this post than usual.

Lawmakers secure federal funding to combat flooding in Queens after impact of Hurricane Ida and other storms

U.S. Congresswomen Grace Meng and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, along with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, announced on Jan. 7 that President Joe Biden has signed their legislation into law to address severe flooding in Queens.

The measure aims to mitigate future disasters like those caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida in September 2021, which inundated the borough with record-shattering rainfall.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
