WILLIAMSBURG — A man seen urinating on the platform of the Metropolitan Avenue G train station chased after a woman and slapped her butt, police said.

The 27-year-old woman saw the man, dressed in a black hoodie, blue jeans and white Adidas sneakers, relieving himself behind a garbage can in the Metropolitan Avenue G train stop on March 25 at 10:31 p.m., according to the NYPD.

She rushed past him but he gave chase and slapped her on the butt, then fled towards the G train, officials said.

Police did not say why the image had been released nearly two months after the incident.

Anyone with information can call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
