There has been ongoing harassment of women in Park Slope. Early this week, News 12's Katelynn Ulrich reported a wave of forcible touching incidents near Prospect Park.

The district's councilmember, Shahana Hanif, says she's meeting with the local precinct to figure out their action plan for gender-based violence.

News 12 investigated three incidents with similar suspect descriptions - every woman was grabbed from behind. Police say no connection has been established between incidents.

"To know if they know what's happening because I heard someone women who tried to file a report weren't taken seriously," say Hanif.

No arrests have been made, and the investigations remain ongoing, police say.
