The 35-year-old victim was riding the northbound L train on Feb. 9 at 9 a.m. when the man approached her and allegedly pressed his genitals against her buttocks multiple times, police said.

Both the victim and the suspect got off the train when it arrived at the 14th Street Union Square station where he pushed the victim on the platform and fled the scene, authorities said.

The individual is described as having a light complexion and was last seen wearing a black mask with a Nike logo and a black trench coat.

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