NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Police on Sunday released a photo of a suspect wanted for groping a woman riding a Queens MTA bus earlier this week.

Just after 4:30 p.m. on April 25, an 18-year-old woman was sitting on a Q60 bus in the vicinity of Queens Boulevard and 44th Street is Sunnyside when the suspect sat next to her.

The suspect grabbed the victims' upper inner thigh a few times without permission to do so, cops said.

According to officials, the victim told the suspect he did not have permission to touch her and made her way off the bus to get away from him.

The victim did not sustain any injuries as a result of this incident.

The suspect was last seen wearing a black coat and dark pants.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
