MANHATTAN — A Department of Sanitation employee was arrested for groping a woman in a Midtown subway station Saturday morning, police said.

The woman called 911 and Marcelle was arrested at Roosevelt Avenue and 74th Street in Queens at 5:35 a.m., police said.

The suspect, who works as a supervisor of stock workers, was charged with forcible touching.

A spokeswoman for the Department of Sanitation said that Marcelle was not immediately suspended.
