LONG ISLAND CITY, QUEENS — Police are searching for a man who they say took photos up a young woman's skirt on a Long Island City-bound train two weeks ago.

The man told her that he didn't do anything wrong, and got off the train at the 36th Street Station in Long Island City. He ran away and hasn't been seen since, the NYPD said.
