NYC perv fondles 16-year-old girl, offers her ring on bus, cops say

A perv fondled a 16-year-old girl and offered her a ring on board a Bronx bus this week, cops said Friday.  

The teen boarded a Bx17 MTA bus at Jackson Avenue and East 149th Street in Mott Haven around 10:30 a.m. Sunday, when a tattooed man wearing pink shorts approached and sat down next to her, authorities said.

The creep put his arm around the girl, caressed her shoulder and offered a ring that he had — but she refused to take it, police said.

The suspect then got off the bus and fled, police said.
