B’klyn perv sneaks into a girl’s bed

THE PUSH to unionize nearly 5,000 JetBlue flight attendants took off Tuesday. All told, 2,661 flight attendants voted in favor of joining the Transport Workers Union, according to the National Mediation Board, which oversaw the electronic balloting. The union headed by John Samuelsen pressed hard to organize the airline staffers. The no-frills airline opposed the idea, calling TWU “an opportunis­tic and negative third party.” But workers rejected that argument. Before the vote, some pointed out they hoped the union would negotiate a set disciplina­ry process that would block bosses from punishing flight attendants without proof or reason. JetBlue angered staffers after the airline began to offer fliers $25 for turning in flight attendants who used their phones during a flight or violated another company regulation. The TWU represents more than 140,000 workers in the airline, railroad, mass transit, utilities and service industries throughout the country. A CREEP CLIMBED through a window into a Brooklyn home Tuesday, slipped into bed next to a 14-year-old girl and took his pants down — but she scared him off with her screams before he could sexually assault her, police said.

The teen’s 10-year-old sister was in the same room at the time, but she was not hurt.

The incident happened around 3 a.m. near 15th Ave. and 39th St. in Borough Park.

Police said the suspect entered the home through an unlocked bedroom window.

After the man got into the teen’s bed, she realized someone was there and started screaming.

The man put a hand over her mouth, and then escaped through the same window. Police were still looking for him Tuesday night.

“They screamed so loud he ran and left his bike and sweatshirt,” neighbor Chaya Tomlin said. “When I spoke to (the girls’) mother at 8 in the morning she was quite shaken. We’re all shaken.”

Neighbor Elizabeth Marzan agreed.

“I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s terrifying that there’s so much going on in this neighborho­od,” she said. “I lock my door. I never used to lock both locks, now I do.”
