NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – Police are searching for two men in a pair of transit gropings in Manhattan in which women were grabbed on a bus and a subway train.

The NYPD released images of the two men Friday as they continue to investigate the unconnected attacks.

In the subway attack, a 30-year-old woman was standing on a 6 train platform at the 59th Street station on the Upper East Side at 12:45 p.m. on Aug. 10 when a man grabbed her buttocks, police said.

He immediately fled and was last seen leaving the station on foot. He’s believed to be in his early 30s.

The bus attack happened on the afternoon of June 23 in the East Village. A 29-year-old woman was on a moving M14 bus near East 12th Street and Avenue C around 4:20 p.m. when a man repeatedly grabbed her rear-end before fleeing, police said.

Neither victim was physically injured, according to police.
