QUEENS, N.Y. — A Queens man has been arrested in connection with multiple forcible touching incidents that occurred last month, the NYPD announced.

Travis Henry, 28, was taken into custody on January 7, 2025, at 3:30 p.m. within the 113th Precinct.

Henry has been charged with three counts of forcible touching, attempted forcible touching, endangering the welfare of a child, and three counts of fourth-degree stalking.

The charges stem from a series of incidents on December 16, 2024, where Henry allegedly targeted multiple females, including teenagers and a woman accompanied by her young son, in the vicinity of Guy R Brewer Boulevard and surrounding streets in Queens.

The NYPD had previously sought public assistance in identifying the suspect linked to this pattern of assaults.

This arrest comes amid heightened community concern over safety in residential neighborhoods.
