NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – The NYPD released photos Thursday of a man wanted for assaulting a woman on a Brooklyn shuttle train and exposing himself to her in a subway station while she transferred.
On Nov. 17, at 8:20 a.m., a 35-year-old woman was on a southbound Franklin Avenue shuttle S train when a stranger came up behind her and pushed his genitals into her buttocks, police said.
The woman got off the shuttle at the Prospect Park subway station in Prospect Lefferts Garden to transfer to the Q train, and the suspect followed her.
Officials said that after the creep detrained with the victim, he tapped her shoulder and exposed himself to her when she turned around.
He continued to follow the victim until she called 911 at the Church Avenue station after he detrained with her again. At this point, police said the suspect fled in an unknown direction.
The wanted man was last seen in a white t-shirt, black and gray jacket, black pants and sneakers, and was wearing an Adidas backpack and eyeglasses. He is depicted in media provided by the NYPD.
No injuries were reported and the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS.
