NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- The NYPD is asking for the public's assistance in identifying a man wanted for lewdness after he exposed himself to a woman on a train earlier this week.

Police said at approximately 11 a.m. on February 16, the suspect was aboard a Queens-bound "E" train when he exposed his penis and masturbated in front of a 51-year-old woman.

The suspect then walked off the train at the Roosevelt Ave.-Jackson Heights station and fled in an unknown direction, officials said.

He is described as a Black man, 6'0", 190lbs, and was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a black jacket, a gray hooded sweater, gray sweatpants, and black sneakers.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
