Cops Seek Man Who Forcibly Groped M Train Riders

Police are searching for a suspect who has forcibly touched women at Queens subway stations during five separate incidents over the past six months.

The suspect has grabbed the victims and stuck his hand down their pants or up their skirts at stations along the M line, which runs from Long Island City to Forest Hills.

Police said one incident took place in February and another happened in March, but that the suspect struck three times in July.

One victim was groped at the M train’s Broadway and Elmhurst Avenue station, while the other four incidents occurred at Queens Boulevard stops.

The most recent incident took place on July 30 at Elmhurst Avenue when the suspect approached a victim and grabbed her from behind, police said.

The man is described as being between 25 and 40 years, an estimated 5 feet, 7 inches tall and around 150 to 160 pounds.

He was last seen wearing a black or navy baseball cap.

Those with information should contact the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS or text CRIMES and enter TIP577.
