Sheriff’s deputies have arrested a man suspected of repeatedly groping a 16-year-old girl on a Metro bus in Van Nuys and think there may be more victims.

Majdeddin Nahvi, 59, allegedly assaulted the girl three times between Aug. 27 and Sept. 30. The victim told police he would sit next to her on the bus, cover himself up partially with a sweater and then touch her. The first two times she was caught by surprise, but the third time she took a photo of him on her cell phone, and police were able to find him.

Nahvi is described as a transient who gave his residence as Canoga Park.

The incidents took place on Metro bus line 761, near the intersections of Van Nuys Boulevard and Vanowen Street and Van Nuys and Burbank boulevards. All three assaults occurred between 1 and 3 p.m., once on a Monday and two other times on a Tuesday.

Nahvi was charged with five misdemeanor counts related to the incidents and remains in jail in lieu of $100,000 bail, according to Sheriff’s Department records.

Investigators are asking anyone else who may have come into contact with Nahvi to come forward.

He is described as about 5 feet 8 and weighing about 140 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes.

Anyone with information is asked to call Sgt. Al Garcia of the Sheriff’s Department’s Special Victims Bureau at 562-946-7960.
