MANHATTAN — The NYPD is hunting for a man who snapped a photo beneath a woman's skirt while they were riding on a train.

The suspect was on a southbound 4 train headed toward Union Square on April 18 when he allegedly took the picture of the 24-year-old victim, police said.

That's when the quick-thinking victim turned the tables on the suspect and snapped his photo, too.

Now cops from the 13th Precinct and District 4 are using that image to see if the public can help them track him down.

The suspect is described as being between 30 and 40 years old, standing 5 feet 5 inches tall, and weighing about 150 pounds. He has brown eyes, short black hair and a mustache, police said.

He was wearing a black and orange sweatshirt that day, cops added.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS, log onto www.nypdcrimestoppers.com or texting their tips to 274637, then entering TIP577.
