HARLEM, NY — A groper who grabbed a teenager aboard a Harlem subway train remains on the loose, police said.

The as-yet-unidentified man touched a 15-year-old girl's private parts while she was riding on a northbound 'A' train approaching the subway station at West 125th Street and Saint Nicholas Avenue at about noon on June 29, officials said.
