Egyptian Banker Busted for Groping Hotel Maid

The New York Post reports:

Another international moneyman has been busted for sexually assaulting a maid at a luxury Manhattan hotel, cops said last night.

Mahmoud Abdel-Salam Omar -- the 74-year-old former chairman of Egypt's Bank of Alexandria -- allegedly groped and "gyrated" against the maid in Room 1027 at The Pierre hotel on Fifth Avenue, a law-enforcement source told The Post.

He was wearing a bathrobe at the time, but it was not clear what, if anything, he had on under it.

The alleged attack came just two weeks after Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the disgraced former head of the International Monetary Fund, was charged with sexually assaulting a maid at the Sofitel hotel in Midtown.

Omar summoned the 44-year-old woman to his room to bring tissues at around 6 p.m. Sunday and quickly locked the door behind her, according to police.

Then, the elderly banker allegedly grabbed her breasts and began kissing her on the lips and neck.

She bravely stood up to him, the source said.

"I'm not up here for that," she told him.

Omar -- who is now the head of El.Mex Salinas, a Middle East-based salt-mining company -- then asked the woman for her phone number, according to the source.

The quick-thinking maid gave him a fake number.

At that point, Omar stepped back and she was able to unlock the door and flee, the source said.
