MIDTOWN EAST — A woman waiting for her fellow passengers to get off a 4 train at Grand Central Station last month was groped by a man exiting the train, according to a police report.

The victim, 38, was headed south on the subway at 6:30 a.m. on Oct. 5 when the train pulled into the Grand Central at East 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue, police said.

As she stepped aside to let the train unload, a stranger grabbed her crotch, according to a police report.

The NYPD described the man as 5-foot-7 and weighing 180 pounds. He was last seen wearing a blue Texas Rangers cap, a blue sweater, blue jeans and black sneakers with facial hair on his chin.

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