MANHATTAN — A 44-year-old woman was groped while shopping in a Duane Reade near Port Authority Bus Terminal in early April, police said.

She was purusing the aisles of the pharmacy at 625 Eighth Ave., near West 41st Street, about 4 p.m. on April 3 when a man grabbed her, NYPD officials said.

Video released by police shows the man, in a green beanie and green bubble jacket, crouched behind an unidentified woman before standing up to look at the camera.

He fled the scene afterwards, police said.

He is about 5 feet 10 inches and 170 pounds, NYPD officials said.

Anyone with information should contact Crime Stoppers at (800) 577-TIPS (8477).
