Cops are searching for a perv who tried to sexually assault a woman on a Queens street — and then ran off when his would-be victim fought back.

The 20-year-old woman was walking near the corner of 27th Street and 30th Avenue in Astoria at about 2 p.m. Saturday when the unidentified man walked up to her, tried to put his hand up her shorts and pushed her against a fence, according to police.

The woman fought him off, and the creep fled south on 27th Street, cops said. The victim was not hurt during the assault.
