NEW YORK CITY, NY - Several victims reportedly told the New York Post that a man, who is a repeat offender, has been allegedly terrorizing women and girls in Queens for the past three months.
The alleged suspect, identified by police as Mallik Miah, was arrested twice for recent incidents but released both times because the crimes were not bail eligible. Miah, 31, has a thick beard and long hair, and has been roaming the neighborhood since May,
Police said he has 41 arrests dating back to 2010, including forcible touching, weapon possession, assault, drugs, and burglary.
One victim, who asked to be identified only as Jessica, filed a police report after Miah allegedly smack her on the rear at the 46th Street-Bliss Street subway station in Sunnyside on May 21.
"The guy was coming up the steps in the little stairwell, and that's when he reached over and assaulted me," Jessica said.
"I flailed my hands at him and yelled, 'A*hole!' and then ran down the stairs, because I was honestly a little afraid that he would throw me down the steps."
Miah was arrested and charged with forcible touching, but got out the next day on supervised release, court records show. "With people like this guy, this is where they're building up to do even worse stuff to people," she said.
Mom Jenn Shulte, 51, was riding the N subway around 2:00 p.m. on June 22 along with her 11-year-old daughter, when they encountered Miah. "He had kind of a crazed look in his eye," she said.
"He was saying, 'I know you like black (expletive), I know you've never had it this good, you don't know how big it is, I'll slide right in.'"
She did not report the incident to police because she didn't think they could do anything. On June 30th, warnings went up on the Facebook group MOMally Astoria after another woman posted about her alleged encounter with him.
"This man followed me into a store on Ditmars, when I was with my one-year-old baby and said absolutely disgusting things to me," the woman wrote, including a picture with her post. Miah allegedly told her he had two friends who would 'f*uck you so good,'" she told The Post. "I didn't call the police," she said. "Although, I should have."
On July 9, Miah went into a Burlington Coat Factory on 31st Street and was "chasing customers," one police source said.
"He comes straight to me and said, 'Buy me clothes,'" said witness Pauletee Spigel, adding that she saw him earlier on a subway train "ogling" two teenage girls. "I ran. The he starts chasing a woman and her 13-year-old daughter."
A worker called 911 and police arrested Miah again. He was charged with trespassing and harassment, police said. But he was released again because the charges were not bail eligible.
He was also seen "harassing" women at an Astoria subway stop at 7:30 a.m. on July 14, said witnesses who posted a snap of him standing uncomfortably close behind two women.
Eliana Laurentis said Miah snuck up behind her around noon on July 24 as she walked to her mother's home. "I immediately knew that I was going to be attacked," she said. "I ducked, I screamed, and I ran." She reported the incident to the police, but Miah was never arrested because he never touched her.
Michael Alcazar, a retired NYPD detective and John Jay College adjunct professor, put the blame on progressive bail reform laws for allowing those who commit sex crimes "back out into the wild."
"It sounds pretty heinous what he's doing, especially if he's verbally attacking and physically assaulting women," he said. "Plus, he's endangering the welfare of minors if a woman has her child."
"It sounds like he should be arrested again," he added. "I know it's frustrating, but these women have to keep making police reports so we can make the arrest again."

The problem isn't LEO's, the problem is weak on crime woke wacko liberal democrat DA's and Judges. It always falls back on democrats who care more about criminals than they do about tax paying citizens. You want a safer city and state don't vote for democrats, they're insane.
