Police from the 108th Precinct in Long Island City and Transit District 20 are still looking for a sexual deviant who subjected a 7 train rider to public lewdness late last month.

On the night of Wednesday, April 24, a 64-year-old woman was on a northbound 7 train approaching the Court Square subway station at around 10:20 p.m. when a stranger allegedly exposed himself and performed a lewd act, police said.

The pervert exited the train at Court Square and fled the station onto 23rd Street at Jackson Avenue. The woman was not injured during the incident.
