Man Gropes Teen In Brooklyn Subway Station, Police Say

BROOKLYN, NY — A man groped a teenager in a Brooklyn subway station while the two waited for a train, police said.

On the morning of May 19 about 7 a.m., a 17-year-old boy was waiting at the 59th Street subway station in Sunset Park for an R train when a man walked up to him, according to the NYPD.

"How big?" the man asked, pointing to the teenager and then grabbing his genitals, police said.

The victim, who wasn't physically hurt by the forcible touching, proceeded to get aboard the next R train that arrived, while the male groper stayed on the platform.

The man hasn't been seen since, said police, who were still looking for him about three weeks later.

Police described the man as about 5-feet, 5-inches tall and 30 years old.

He was last seen wearing a blue baseball hat, black and gray hooded jacket, black shirt and blue jeans according to NYPD surveillance photos.

Police asked that anyone with information about the incident call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). All calls are confidential, according to the NYPD. People can also submit tips online or on Twitter.
