Cops are searching for a man accused of groping a woman last month when she boarded the Q train at the Neck Road station.

Cops say the salacious act took place during the morning rush hour, at 8:49am, on November 9. A 28-year-old woman told police the suspect approached her as she was getting on northbound Q train and grabbed her butt. The woman later took a cellphone picture of him, which she provided to police.

The NYPD released the woman’s picture and describes the suspect as an Asian man, between 40 and 45 years old, five feet, four inches tall, with short black hair. He was last seen carrying a large black canvas bag.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.
