UPPER EAST SIDE — "I have a bomb and am not afraid to die," a man told terrified 6 train commuters earlier this month, according to the NYPD.

After he threatened passenger on the northbound train at East 86th Street about 6 p.m. on Jan. 5, he fled in an unknown direction, authorities said.

No one was hurt in the incident, authorities said.

Police released a sketch of the suspect on Tuesday, describing him as 25 to 35 years old, standing 5-foot-5 to 6-feet tall, and last seen wearing a black coat, blue jeans and a knit hat.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477).
