Creep Masturbates On Midtown Train, Police Say

MIDTOWN MANHATTAN, NY — The NYPD is trying to identify a man wanted for masturbating on a train traveling through Midtown Manhattan, police said.

A 31-year-old woman boarded a northbound N train at 57th Street on Tuesday, April 2 when she noticed another passenger on the train "manipulating" his private parts, police said. The woman was able to snap a photo of the creep and exited the train at the next station to report the man, police said.

Police described the suspect as a man in his 20s or 30s who was last seen wearing a green jacket and black pants. The NYPD released a photo of the suspect (seen above) this week and said he's wanted for "public lewdness."

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
