Man Flashes Woman At Upper West Side Subway Station: NYPD

UPPER WEST SIDE, NY — A straphanger flashed a fellow commuter while waiting for a train at an Upper West Side station earlier this month, according to police.

A 22-year-old woman was standing on the northbound platform waiting for the B/C train at a subway station on 72nd Street at about 1 a.m. on June 2 when the indecent incident occurred, officials said.

The woman watched as the man approached her and then exposed himself in front of her, police said.

Officials said the victim quickly boarded the northbound C train while the man ran off to an unknown part of the subway station.

The police have described the man as being roughly between 20 and 30 years old, standing at five feet nine inches with a medium build. He was last spotted clad in black pants, a black shirt, black sneakers and carrying a black book bag.

Police also released an image of a person they claim is connected to the incident.

Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
