Police are searching for the man seen in this cell phone photo, taken by a 51-year-old woman who alleges that he sexually harassed and groped her on the B/Q/ subway platform and train at Atlantic Avenue.

It was rush hour at 6:20pm last Friday, August 7 when the man began masturbating in front of her, the woman told police. When she walked away and boarded a train, however, she said the suspect followed her and grabbed her buttocks, at which point she turned around and snapped a photo of him looking straight into the camera.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. You can also submit tips online or via text to 274637(CRIMES) then enter TIP577.
