NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD released a suspect sketch Wednesday of a man who grabbed and groped a woman as she lounged in a busy part of Central Park.

The 22-year-old woman was sitting near West Drive and Center Drive—between the Pond and Columbus Circle—around 6 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 26, when she was attacked.

A man came up and grabbed her, groping her buttocks and privates over her clothing, police said. He then fled into the park.

The woman was not physically injured, police said.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
