Police from the 108th Precinct in Long Island City and Transit District 20 are looking for a groper who targeted a 25-year-old woman onboard a 7 train near Queensboro Plaza last week.
The incident occurred just before 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 20, when a stranger approached the victim in the Manhattan-bound 7 train as it passed 27th Street in Long Island City. The perpetrator allegedly touched her private area with both of his hands before exiting the train and running off along Queens Plaza South. The victim did not sustain any injuries during the encounter.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspect on board the subway and exiting the station turnstiles and described him as having a medium complexion with a dark beard and mustache.
