NEW YORK – DECEMBER 4: Demonstrators march on the West Side Highway during a protest December 4, 2014 in New York. Protests began after a Grand Jury decided to not indict officer Daniel Pantaleo. Eric Garner died after being put in a chokehold by Pantaleo on July 17, 2014. Pantaleo had suspected Garner of selling untaxed cigarettes.

Police are searching for a young man who groped a 12-year-old girl in Queens over the weekend.
The man, about 20 years old, found the girl on the corner of 195th Street and Hillside Avenue when he pulled her toward him on Saturday morning at about 8 a.m., police said.
He put his hands over her clothes and made a comment about her body. But the girl was able to pull away and run.
The man, seen wearing a beanie hat with a pom-pom on top, was then caught on surveillance video running.
