NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Police are searching for a man who allegedly attempted to sexually assault a woman who asked him for directions at a Brooklyn subway station early Friday.
The incident happened around 2:45 a.m. onboard a C train approaching the Lafayette Avenue subway station in Brooklyn, authorities said.
The 36-year-old victim approached a man and asked him for directions. He told her to follow him off of the train so he could give her directions, according to officials.
Both of them exited the train station as the woman followed the man up the steps from the platform. He then turned around and exposed his genitals to the woman before grabbing her and attempting to engage her in oral sex, police said.
