Manhattan 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.
