📷 GothamistManhattan neurologist charged with sexually abusing 2 patients, DA says
Prosecutors say Dr. Tariq Lamki abused two patients during appointments at a medical practice near Stuyvesant Town.
A Manhattan neurologist was charged with sexually abusing two of his patients, the Manhattan district attorney's office announced Tuesday.
The district attorney's office identified the accused as 51-year-old Tariq Lamki, who works at 14th Street Medical Arts near Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village.
Lamki allegedly sexually abused the two patients over their clothing under the guise of giving them massages while they lay on an examination table in a closed-door room, according to court documents.
The incidents allegedly took place on Aug. 25 and Sept. 2.
Lamki faces two counts each of first-degree sexual abuse, forcible touching and third-degree sexual abuse.
"A doctor’s appointment should never end in sexual abuse,” DA Alvin Bragg said in a statement Tuesday.
Attorney information for Lamki was not immediately available to Gothamist. A spokesperson for 14th Street Medical Arts did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
