Cops are looking for a man who allegedly accosted a teenage boy on a Brooklyn subway platform last month and groped him before the boy could flee.
The NYPD released a photo of the suspect in the assault on Wednesday. He's described as being about 30 years old, around 5'5" and 130 pounds, with a medium build, last seen wearing a blue baseball hat, black face mask, black and gray hooded jacket, black shirt and blue jeans.
The attack happened just after 7 a.m. on May 19 at the 59th Street and Fourth Avenue station. According to the police account of the incident, a 17-year-old boy was standing on the platform waiting for a southbound R train when the suspect walked up to him and asked "How big?"
The suspect then allegedly pointed at the boy's crotch - and proceeded to forcibly grab it. The boy subsequently got on an arriving train and left the station.
