A 24-year-old woman told police that the male straphanger seen in the above photo inappropriately touched her leg while rubbing his crotch with his other hand, as they rode a Brooklyn-bound N train through the 36th Street station.

It was around 2am on Tuesday, March 15, when the incident occurred. The woman verbally called the suspect out on his behavior, they argued, and the suspect reportedly fled on foot by exiting the train at the 59th Street station.

Police describe the suspect as an Asian male in his early 20s, standing around 5-feet-2-inches tall, weighing around 120 pounds. He was last seen wearing a grey hooded sweater, light colored pants, and dark colored shoes. He was also carrying a zip-up jacket with moss green lining.
