HICKSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) - Police have arrested a man accused of sexually assaulting a worker at a Long Island massage parlor.

James Catanzano of Glen Cove faces sexual abuse charges in connection with the Jan. 6 incident at the Red Bell Spa in Hicksville.

It wasn’t immediately clear if he had a lawyer.



Police say he attempted to have the worker touch him in a sexual manner after she started the massage.

When she backed away, Catanzano allegedly got off the table, backed her into a corner and touched her inappropriately. She managed to get away and notify police.

In the meantime, the suspect fled. He was arrested early Thursday.
