Man Gropes Woman Holding Baby in Philly

Stories don’t get much more messed up than this one…

Yesterday morning, a young woman was riding the El train in Philadelphia, PA, and she was holding her infant on her lap. A man sat beside her, threatened her and groped her at knife point. No one else in the car realized what was happening. He got off at Eighth and Market Streets and the woman got off there too, to call the police.  Via the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Groper on the El Train in Philadelphia“The man was described as 30 to 40 years old, about 5-foot-3, and 150 to 160 pounds. He had slicked-back blond hair, wore a black shirt and pants, and his left ring finger was bandaged and in a splint, police said. Anyone with information was asked to contact the Special Victims Unit at 215-685-3251.”

What is wrong with people?!
