LIC digs out after ‘historic’ storm

Police from the 115th Precinct in Jackson Heights did not have far to go to locate a senior who allegedly stalked a 12-year-old girl in broad daylight in East Elmhurst.

At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 6, a bearded older man approached a young girl as she walked along 81st Street near 31st Avenue. He grabbed her hand, but the girl managed to pull away. Undeterred, the man followed her and grabbed her hand a second time before eventually heading north on 81st Street, according to police. The girl was not injured during the incident.
