FORT GREENE — Police are looking for a man they say grabbed a woman’s butt and groped her on a Manhattan-bound 5 train last week.

The man and the 26-year-old woman both got on the train at the Nevins Street station just before 9 a.m. on Feb. 12, the NYPD said.

Police say the man got on the train, grabbed the woman’s butt and rubbed against her. 

The victim told the man to get off her, so he moved away and got off at another station, according to police.

The woman was able to take a photo of the man, who police say is in his 60s and was wearing a black North Face ski cap.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS.
