Police from the 110th Precinct in Elmhurst and Transit District 20 are looking for a suspect who allegedly groped a 16-year-old girl aboard a subway in Jackson Heights late last month.

The victim was riding on a Jamaica-bound E train that was approaching the Jackson Heights–Roosevelt Avenue/74th Street station at around 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 28, when a stranger pressed his body against her thigh and ran his fingers over her privates over her clothes, police said Wednesday.

The suspect remained on the train until it reached the Jamaica Center-Parsons/Archer subway station, where he ran off in an unknown direction. The youngster was not injured during the encounter.

The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspect on Wednesday and described him as having a dark complexion who was wearing a black jacket, black pants, black shoes, and carrying a black book bag.

Anyone with information regarding this sexual abuse investigation is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
