A health-club trainer was arrested for molesting a woman in the Brownsville gym where he worked, authorities said yesterday.
Joel Mills, 36, was busted Thursday at the woman’s home on charges of menacing, forcible touching, sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment and harassment.
Mills allegedly lured the 22-year-old woman, who exercises at the gym, into his office on East 98th Street and Rutland Road at 2:45 p.m. that day.
After shutting the door, he tried to kiss the woman, who shoved him away and attempted to leave, cops said.
