July 19, 2007 -- The sex fiend who molested three Lower East Side women since June struck for a fourth time early yesterday, authorities said. In the latest sickening attack, the creep ran up behind a 20-year-old woman on East Ninth Street near Second Avenue at 1:50 a.m., he put her in a chokehold, shoved his hand up her skirt and ran off, police said.
"I heard some yelling or screaming . . . she didn't yell for help," said neighbor Emily Gerstell, 22, who moved there because she thought the busy block was safe."It's just upsetting . . . it's really terrifying," Gerstell said. Bernie Dobrzynsky, 53, whose window overlooks the scene where the victim - who neighbors said is an NYU student - was watching TV around the time of the attack and heard muffled noises. "After what I hear now I am sorry I didn't look out the window," Dobrzynsky lamented.
Detectives spent the day yesterday interviewing the victim at a local hospital and showed her the sketch of the suspect in the three other cases to see if he matched the description of the man who abused her, cops said.

previous attacks were on Chrystie Street and East 12th apparently...BE CAREFUL! 1:00 AM is not that late to be walking back from a show or a bar! Be alert. There has also been a man forcing himself into apartments when girls go to open their doors.
