Frankie Hatton, 21, was detained Tuesday by NYPD for questioning in connection with the groping of Crown Heights women has been arrested.
Described as a 21 year old black male who appears to be mentally unstable, the suspect slapped a number of Jewish women in the Crown Heights community as they walked on the street or entered their apartment buildings.
Police presence had been stepped up in the Crown Heights neighborhood following the incidents, and a police officer detained the suspect on Albany Avenue and Union Street after recognizing him from the description.
An NYPD source told COLlive, “We do not believe this was anti-Semitic in nature, or the work of a group, but rather a single perverted individual.”
Two of his victims have reportedly identified him in a lineup.
Crown Heights women have been on edge since the news of his attacks, and expressed relief that the perpetrator has been caught.
Maybe if perverts like Frankie knew that CH women were legally allowed to carry guns then he would have a refuah shlemah and not bother anyone.
Hey, it may be illegal but ladies, you can still carry pepper spray. It costs like 10 bucks and can save your life.
Don’t rely on the cops, they’ll only come later to take a picture of your body and write a report.
Pepper spray.
we attended a simcha recently in chovevei Torah and my daughter was in the elevator with a relative and a guy riding in the elevator closed the lights and then pinched them both. He refused to open the lights when the elevator stopped and they both ran out. We looked for the guy but he ran away. We were told he was fired the next day. i also know his name was Frankie.. Any connection???
COP helped find Frankie Hatton
one member gave the police the first part of the video
the police identified him from the video
and from what he was wearing that night
who gave it to the cops
To all the racially concerned people out there. This was not a racial attack!!! Black women do not complain about such things, and certainly don’t go to the police. Also the crown heights pant wearers probably don’t care either!!!!!!
P.S. Nice video
your a sicko 10
Is there are sickos out there everyday, no need to over react with looking over your shoulder and being scared to go outside. Everytime you go outside you risk yurself .
This has nothing to do with anti-semitism. This is a thrill issue. He’s a sicko who feels the urge to attack either white women or those in skirts, not pants. Round here, the ones who wear dresses/skirts tend to be Lubavitchers.
Those Lubavitcher girls who wear pants under their short skirts may well have been safe. So now they will feel even more validated to dress inappropriately. What a place!
Thank G-d they got him. I was pretty nervous, when walking down the street constantly looking over my shoulder.
Thanks NYPD!!!
HURRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe it wasn’t anti-semitic but since he targeted only white women – it was a racially motivated attack!
He also victimized a young black, non-Jewish woman-it seemed he targeted women in skirts.
i agree for sure hes anti-semitic
He slapped only Jewish women. What other proof is needed to describ him as an anti-semitic guy???
I was soooooooo scared to walk outside by myself with my baby….
