DOWNTOWN BROOKLYN — Police are searching for a man who squeezed into a subway turnstile behind a woman and grabbed her butt.

The 24-year-old victim was exiting the R train at the DeKalb Avenue station in Downtown Brooklyn on Dec. 16 around 3 p.m. when a man entered a turnstile with her and groped her, police said.

The suspect did not say anything to the woman and ran out of the subway after the incident, according to police.

Police said the alleged groper is approximately 6-feet-tall, 250 pounds and in his 30s. A photo of the suspect captures him wearing black jeans and a black coat with a fur-trimmed hood.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
