The perpetrator is described as being a heavy-set man in his late 20s. He was last seen wearing a black hooded sweater, black pants, and black and white sneakers.

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).
