LONG ISLAND CITY — Cops have arrested a 25-year-old Queens man for groping a woman at a Long Island City subway station, police said Thursday.

Andres Lara grabbed the 27-year-old victim's buttocks at the Queensboro Plaza station as she waited for a Manhattan-bound 7 train Wednesday about 10:40 a.m., police said.

Cops released a photo of a suspect Wednesday evening. Lara turned himself in the next day after seeing himself on television, a police source said.

He has been charged with forcible touching, according to the NYPD.
