Man went on grope spree in Bronx: cops

COPS ARRESTED a man Friday they say sexually accosted three girls in the Bronx in a span of just over an hour.

Alvin Ortiz, 31, is facing multiple counts of forcible touching and acting in a manner injurious to a child for his alleged lewd spree in Soundview Wednesday morning.

Cops said Ortiz approached his first victim, a 15-year-old girl, near E. 172nd St. and Wheeler Ave. about 7 a.m.

He grabbed her buttocks and then asked if she wanted to see his penis, cops said.

The teen ran off and told an administrator at nearby Metropolitan Soundview High School, police said. Roughly 40 minutes later, Ortiz found an 11-year-old girl a short distance away from the first attack and pinched the child’s behind before running to a black Chevy Impala parked nearby and driving off.

He approached his final victim, a 13-year-old girl, about 8:15 a.m. He flashed her and grabbed her buttocks before running off, cops said. A tip helped lead cops to Ortiz.
