PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN — A groper grabbed a woman's butt inside a Park Slope subway station Thursday, police said.

The woman, 63, was exiting the Grand Army Plaza subway station mezzanine about 8:20 a.m. when a man grabbed her buttocks, NYPD officials said.

She didn't suffer any physical injuries, authorities said. The man ran away, but apparently not before surveillance cameras captured images of him, which police released Friday.
