NEW YORK — A deranged man is attacking women around Manhattan’s Upper East Side. His weapon of choice? Poop. <br /> <br />NBC reports that the man, believed to be homeless, was lurking around East 74th Street and First Avenue around 6 p.m. on Monday night. The perp was wearing latex gloves and holding a bag full of feces. <br /> <br />A surveillance video released by the New York Police Department shows a woman, 27, walking down the street with the man behind her. She was on the phone and didn’t notice him until he pulled on her waistband and shoved the bag of poop down her shorts. He then grabbed her butt and pushed her onto a nearby driveway. He can be seen pulling off the gloves and throwing them away before running off. <br /> <br />The horrified woman was shaking and speechless in the wake of the attack, and had to get her mother and boyfriend to bring her clean clothes, reports the New York Daily News. <br /> <br />Hours earlier, a 33-year-old woman suffered a worse fate while walking along East 91st Street and Madison Avenue, when the same man reportedly smeared excrement on her face. <br /> <br />Police are on the hunt for the crazy poo-flinging suspect, though they have yet to determine if the feces the man is throwing around belongs to a human or an animal.
