Police Search For Creep Who Massaged A Boy's Leg On The Subway

WEST VILLAGE, NY — A pervert massaged a 9-year-old boy's leg during a Monday morning subway ride through Manhattan, police said.

The boy and his 20-year-old sister were heading into the West Village on a south bound-A train just before 7 a.m. when the man leaned over and rubbed the child's right thigh, police said.

The boy's sister immediately confronted the man and snapped his photo when she realized what had happened, cops said.

She alerted the train's conductor when it pulled into the 14th Street station, but the man had already fled, authorities said.

Police describe the man as between 30 to 40-years-old with a goatee.

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).
