COLUMBUS CIRCLE — A man who groped a fellow subway passenger in front of the victim's wife and kids told him to “give my regards to the NYPD” after the victim snapped a photo of him, police said.

The 36-year-old victim, from Manhattan, was riding a southbound A train with his wife and two daughters around 2:40 p.m. on Aug. 28, when the groper grabbed him from behind near the Columbus Circle station, the NYPD said.

“Yeah, you know you like that. You know what I mean,” the groper told the man, according to police.

“You’ve got a nice soft a--, and you know you like that,” he added.

After the man snapped a photo of the groper with his cellphone, the perpetrator addressed the victim again, police said.

“Give my regards to the NYPD, they know me well,” he said.

Police hadn’t made an arrest as of Monday.
