In a disturbing series of incidents late Monday night, a man allegedly assaulted three women in Williamsburg, with two of the attacks occurring near a yeshiva, according to police reports.

The suspect, identified as 22-year-old Jacob Narvaez, reportedly began his spree by targeting a 19-year-old woman on Heyward Street near Lee Avenue. Authorities state that around 9:25 p.m., Narvaez approached the young woman and slapped her on the buttocks.

Continuing his alarming behavior, Narvaez allegedly proceeded approximately four blocks to Bedford Avenue near Hewes Street. It was here, mere minutes later, that he is accused of attacking two more women in front of a yeshiva, police confirmed.

In these subsequent assaults, Narvaez reportedly struck one woman on the side of her face and scratched another on her back, with both incidents occurring around 9:30 p.m., according to police and one of the victims.

Rachel Paskes, one of the women who was slapped, recounted the incident to The Post. She explained that she was merely walking and speaking on her phone when she was unexpectedly hit on the right side of her face.

“He came from the back without me seeing anything,” Paskes told The Post by phone Tuesday. “The hit was so hard, I didn’t know what I was feeling.

“From the back, he slapped my right ear,” she added. “My phone went dead from the force of the slap. That’s how hard he hit….My ear became numb and red.” 

No one ran after Narvaez, who bolted after the senseless assault, according to Paskes.

But Narvaez’s escape didn’t last long, as he was arrested about a half-mile away around 10:15 p.m. and charged with misdemeanor assault and harassment, police said. 

He has no prior arrests, cops said. 

Video posted on X by Williamsburg 365 News shows both the NYPD and the Williamsburg Shomrim Safety Patrol descending on the scene as Narvaez was led away in cuffs.

The string of attacks comes less than two weeks after Anthony Caines, 45, allegedly spat on three women in the same neighborhood during a two-day sickening spree, cops said. 

He was granted supervised release because none of the incidents resulted in a felony charge, which would’ve kept him in custody.
