Man wearing bow tie gropes 12-year-old in Manhattan

A 12-year-old girl was sexually abused Tuesday in Chelsea by a creep wearing a bow tie, authorities said.

The child was walking down West 28th Street between Tenth and Eleventh avenues around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday when the man grabbed her as he walked passed.

The girl screamed and ran home to tell her mom, who called cops, who are still hunting for the pervert.

The suspect is described as being in his early 20s and stands around 5-foot-6. He was last seen wearing green pants and a dark colored bow tie, cops said.
