BUTT-SLAPPER BUST

A Brooklyn man busted after slapping a woman’s buttocks in Crown Heights Tuesday night has been linked to a dozen similar attacks, police said yesterday.

Most of the victims were Hasidic Jews. The crimes took place near Lubavitch headquarters on Eastern Parkway.

Frankie Hatton, 21, was arrested by cops who noticed he fit the description of a suspect in the latest attack.

The 23-year-old victim identified him as her abuser.

He was charged with forcible touching and sexual abuse for Tuesday’s offense, and faces similar counts for the other incidents, sources said.
