JERSEY CITY, N.J. (WPIX) - Nitinkuma Patel had nothing to say as he was led out of the West District station house Wednesday afternoon.
Cops say the 27-year-old man dubbed the 'serial urinator,' terrorized the Bergen Square neighborhood since December as he preyed on young women..
"We've been plagued by a man that's been described as Asian or Middle Eastern," Jersey City Deputy Chief Peter Malbach told PIX News. "He's been going up behind females who were waiting for the bus or just walking and just urinating on the back of their leg."
Authorities say the attacks were all very similar and took place on a regular basis between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m., when young women were headed to work and school. The alleged pervert was nabbed Wednesday morning by a sharp, plainclothes cop who was staking out the area when he spotted Patel.
The victim in Wednesday's attack was just 16-years-old. Cops say Patel's victims typically ranged in age from teenagers to women in their early 30's.
People who live nearby are very glad this creep is off the street.
"Well congratulations, he's off the streets," one resident told PIX News. "He won't be peeing on anyone else."
Patel has been identified in 2 cases so far, but cops suspect there are many more victims who have yet to come forward.
