* Cops are asking for the public’s help to identify this man (pictured) who tried to abduct three teen girls in University Heights, authorities said.
The creep grabbed a 15-year-old girl at University Avenue near 179th Street at 9:30 a.m. on March 7, but the girl managed to pull away and the man fled.
Hours later, the suspect, driving a dark four-door sedan, pulled up to another 15-year-old girl near Andrews Avenue.
That girl ran into a nearby building after he asked her to get in the car.
He lurked outside for a while and took off when the girl asked a pedestrian for help.
Two days later, the man tried to lure a 13-year-old girl into his car on University Avenue – a block from where he grabbed the first victim.
He initially asked her for directions while sitting in his car.
When the girl didn’t respond, he got out of the car and followed her. She ran, boarded a city bus and escaped unharmed.
The would-be kidnapper is described as a black man age 30 to 35, 5-foot-11 and 210 pounds.

Francis was busted for assault.

* A man was caught red-handed stealing items out of parked cars in Heartland Village, authorities said yesterday.
Michael Carulli, 39, was arrested at the corner of Richmond Avenue and Richmond Hill Road at 8 p.m. Thursday, law-enforcement sources said.
Carulli allegedly walked from car to car and checked each vehicle to see if the doors were unlocked and did get into at least one car, a gold Jaguar, from which he swiped jewelry, a beaded necklace and a cellphone charger, the sources said.
When cops caught up with Carulli, he tossed an orange backpack and a circular saw and ran from the officers – and even broke through a fence in his bid to escape.
Carulli is charged with criminal mischief, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, two counts of criminal possession of stolen property, petit larceny and resisting arrest, according to a spokesman for DA Daniel Donovan.
