About 12 hours earlier, a fiend accosted a 28-year-old woman at West 97th Street and West Drive, cops said.
The perv stopped the woman in her tracks around 7:20 p.m. Thursday, grabbed her by the arm and demanded, “Give me your phone, give me your wallet, give me sex,” authorities said.
He then slugged her in the face, knocking her to the ground — before grabbing her iPhone 11, police said.

At some point, he repeatedly rubbed his arm on the woman’s breast and said, “I want to have sex with you,” law enforcement sources said.
The man — who cops say is about 5-foot-9 with curly short black hair, wearing all black — ran off and had not been caught by Friday morning.



The woman refused medical attention, cops said.


The NYPD’s Special Victims Unit is investigating the case.
