A recidivist criminal who looks and acts like a caveman has allegedly been terrorizing women and girls in Queens for the past three months, multiple victims told The Post.
Even more frustrating is that the apparent deviant — identified by cops as Mallik Miah — was arrested twice for recent incidents but released both times because the crimes were not bail eligible, police said.
The bearded, long-haired Miah, 31 — who’s been roaming the neighborhood since May — has 41 arrests dating back to 2010, including forcible touching, weapon possession, assault, drugs and burglary, police sources said.
One victim, who asked to be identified only as Jessica, filed a police report after Miah allegedly smacked her on the rear at the 46th Street-Bliss Street subway station in Sunnyside on May 21.
“The guy was coming up the steps in the little stairwell, and that’s when he reached over and assaulted me,” Jessica said. “I flailed my hands at him and yelled, ‘A–hole!’ and then ran down the stairs, because I was honestly a little afraid that he would throw me down the steps.”
Miah, whose last known address was in the Bronx, was arrested and charged with forcible touching but got out the next day on supervised release, court records show.
“With people like this guy, this is where they’re building up to do even worse stuff to people,” the 40-year-old said.
Mom Jenn Shulte, 51, was riding the N subway around 2 p.m. June 22 along with her 11-year-old daughter, when they encountered Miah.
“He had kind of a crazed look in his eye,” she told The Post. “He was saying, ‘I know you like black d–k, I know you’ve never had it this good, you don’t know how big it is, I’ll slide it right in.’”
She didn’t report the incident to police because she didn’t think they could do anything.
On June 30, warnings went up on the Facebook group MOMally Astoria after another woman posted about her alleged encounter with him.
“This man followed me into a store on Ditmars, when I was with my 1-year-old baby and said absolutely disgusting things to me,” the woman wrote, including a pic with her post.
Miah allegedly told her he had two friends who would ‘f–k you so good,” she recounted to The Post.
“I didn’t call the police,” the 37-year-old said. “Although, I should have.”
On July 9, Miah went into a Burlington Coat Factory on 31st Street and was “chasing customers,” a police source said.
“He comes straight to me and said, ‘Buy me clothes,’” said witness Paulette Spigel, adding that she saw him earlier on a subway train “ogling” two teenage girls. “I ran. Then he starts chasing a woman and her 13-year-old daughter.”
A worker called 911 and cops arrested Miah again.
He was charged with trespassing and harassment, police said. But he was released again because the charges were not bail eligible.
He was also seen “harassing” women at an Astoria subway stop at 7:30 a.m. on July 14, said witnesses who posted a snap of him standing uncomfortably close behind two women.
And Eliana Laurentis said Miah snuck up behind her around noon on July 24, as she walked to her mother’s home.

“I immediately knew that I was going to be attacked,” Laurentis, 47, said. “I ducked, I screamed and I ran.”
She reported the incident to the NYPD’s 114th Precinct but Miah wasn’t arrested because he never touched her, cops said.
Michael Alcazar, a retired NYPD detective and John Jay College adjunct professor, blamed lefty bail reform laws for allowing perverts “back out into the wild.”
“It sounds pretty heinous what he’s doing – especially if he’s verbally attacking and physically assaulting women, plus he’s endangering the welfare of minors if a woman has her child,” Alcazar said.
“It sounds like he should be arrested again. . . . I know it’s frustrating, but these women have to keep making police reports so we can make the arrest again,” he added.
Residents are fearful the worst is yet to come.
“Our neighborhood is worried that he’s going to very badly hurt somebody,” said Astoria resident Kimberly Vasallo.
A message left for Miah’s public defender wasn’t returned.
