Cops arrested a registered sex offender in Astoria for trying to lure a child into his car, authorities said.
Houshang Hamiki, 69, allegedly tried to coax a 12-year-old girl into a light-colored SUV at 49th Street and Ditmars Avenue on March 5 at 4:15 p.m., cops said.
The victim refused just as her baby sitter approached the man — who then fled.
Police later caught up with Hamiki, who never updated his address, in Nassau County.
