NEW YORK - A man was arrested at an East Harlem school after he followed a girl into the building and groped her, according to police.
The girl, 11, was walking into Isaac Newton Middle School for Math & Science on Pleasant Avenue at about 8:18 a.m. on Thursday when the man went inside and grabbed her between her legs, said police.
A faculty member saw what was happening and held the man until police arrived.
Anthony Anderson, 52, was charged with sexual abuse, endangering the welfare of a child and criminal trespass. It was unclear if he had a lawyer.
