Eek: A man was arrested after allegedly touching a 14-year-old boy under a bathroom stall on a Staten Island Ferry yesterday morning. According to the Advance, "The victim left the bathroom and told his father what had happened, and the two then informed police officers stationed on the boat." Francisco Andrade, 31, of Queens was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, loitering and harassment. The Advance adds, "The arrest comes as the city Department of Transportation instituted a cut to deckhands and restroom attendants onboard the boats in a move expected to save $1.4 million a year, but which raises safety concerns."
