Transit detectives in Brooklyn are looking for the subway creep who groped a young woman at a station earlier this month.
The NYPD released video on Tuesday of the suspect behind the sick caper, which occurred at about 11:30 p.m. on March 16 at the 25th Street subway station on the R line in Greenwood Heights.
Law enforcement sources said that the sicko approached the victim, a 19-year-old woman, as she walked up the exit stairs and grabbed her buttocks.
Police reported that the suspect then followed the victim along 23rd Street, where he then grabbed hold of her and placed his hands inside her pants. Following that attack, he fled the scene eastbound on 23rd Street toward 5th Avenue.
The incident was reported to the 72nd Precinct and NYPD Transit District 32. Police said the victim did not suffer any physical injuries.
Cops described the suspect as a middle-aged man with a light complexion and a medium build, believed to be between 40 and 50 years old. He was last seen wearing a black ski hat, a black shirt, a black jacket, black pants and black boots.
Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (for Spanish, dial 888-57-PISTA). You can also submit tips online at crimestoppers.nypdonline.org, or on X (formerly Twitter) @NYPDTips. All calls and messages are kept confidential.
