Two week ago I noticed two NYPD Special Victims detectives appearing to be investigating an incident by the Roosevelt Island Riverwalk Commons area. I asked the detectives what happened but they declined to comment.

The NYPD Special Victims unit tweeted yesterday:

I asked the NYPD for further information:

The NYPD Special Victims tweeted today about a sexual assault that occured June 29 on Roosevelt Island which is in the jurisdiction of the 114 precinct in Queens.

Here is link to the Tweet.

Please note that there is a subtweet which says the assault took place on Roosevelt Avenue which is different from Roosevelt Island.

The picture of the suspect is from the Roosevelt Island subway station.

Do you have any more specific information on what happened?

A NYPD spokesperson answered today:

It was reported to police that on Sunday, June 30, 2024, at approximately 0315
hours, a 19-year-old female was walking in the vicinity of Main Street and
West Main Street, when an unknown male approached her and demanded a kiss. The
complainant asked the individual to leave her alone. The individual then
pushed her against a wall and, and forcibly touched the victims private
area.. There were no injuries reported as a result of this incident. The
suspect fled on foot. There is no arrest and the investigation is ongoing.
