A man was busted for trying to rape a TSA worker who while en route to Kennedy Airport had refused to give him money, police sources said.
Melvin Adams, 37, approached the victim riding a subway train near Beach 90th Street in the Rockaways at 2:30 a.m. Thursday and sat down next to her, police sources said.
He allegedly put his arm around the 42-year-old victim and asked her several times to give him $3.
The woman told him she had no money and got off the train at the Howard Beach stop, with Adams following behind her.
The victim sat down on a bench and Adams again sat next to her and continued to ask for money.
When she again refused to hand over $3, Adam allegedly got belligerent and told the victim that if she wasn’t going to give him money, she would have to give him sex, sources said.
Adams then threw the woman against the station wall, pulled down his pants and tried to force the woman down toward his groin, sources said.
The victim’s screams drew the attention of passers-by and Adams fled on board a northbound A train.
He was arrested a short time later and charged with attempted rape, sexual abuse and forcible touching.
