Police are looking for a man who allegedly groped a woman on Thursday as she was walking on Mercer Street shortly after 9 a.m.
The victim told police that she was walking east on Mercer Street when she heard someone approaching her from behind. When she turned around, she said she saw a man walking very close to her. He then grabbed her buttocks and then pushed her, causing her to fall to the ground.
The man fled west on Mercer Street and may have turned south onto Springdale Road.
The victim described the man as a Hispanic male, about 30 to 40 years old. She also said he stands about 5 feet 5 inches tall, and has a medium skin tone.
According to the woman, he has short hair that is spiked on top. He was wearing a blue T-shirt with two buttons or dots on the front, near the collar.
Anyone who may have been in the area of Mercer Street and Springdale Road between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. on Aug. 10 and who may have observed the incident should call Princeton Police Det. Holly Arana at 609-921-2100, ext. 1834.
