NEW YORK (1010 WINS) – Police released video Tuesday of a man who allegedly groped and put his hands down the pants of a woman who he followed out of a Brooklyn subway station.
The 19-year-old woman was walking up an exit staircase at the 25th Street R-line station in Greenwood Heights around 11:30 p.m. on March 16, when the man approached her from behind and grabbed her buttocks, police said.
He continued to follow her outside the station and onto 23rd Street, where he eventually attacked her again and put both of his hands inside her pants, according to cops.
The suspect was last seen fleeing eastbound towards Fifth Avenue, police said. He’s believed to be in his 40s.
