Pakistani Sailor In Town For Fleet Week Accused Of Forcing Kiss On Teen
May 28, 2005

Charges are pending against a Pakistani sailor in town for Fleet Week who is accused of kissing a 14-year-old girl against her will.

Police say 30-year-old Nadeem Ahmed was talking to the teenager while walking along the east side of Central Park Friday afternoon when he allegedly grabbed the girl and forced a kiss on her. She broke away and called the police.

Ahmed was nabbed after a brief search.

According to a report in Saturday’s New York Post, police had already been looking for Ahmed because a missing persons report had been filed on Thursday when the sailor went AWOL from his ship, the Tippu Sultan.

Seems like he's had a "scrape" of his own.
