Sources say police are questioning a man accused of going up to women in Brooklyn and slapping their behinds.

Investigators say there have been at least a dozen incidents since June 19th in Crown Heights.

Police released surveillance video of the suspect earlier today.

The victims range in age from 19 to 44 years old.

"He's a lowlife. I think he's a coward and he will be arrested. And he will be sent to jail," said City Councilwoman Letitia James. "It's just a matter of time. We have some good leads. The police are following him."

The suspect is described as being in his mid-20s, between 5-feet-10-inches and 6-feet tall. He is said to weigh between 175 and 200 pounds. He has short black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Stoppers by calling 1-800-577-TIPS, by texting TIP577 to CRIMES, or by going to NYPDCrimeStoppers.com.
