QUEENS — A man with a string of rosary beads around his neck exposed himself to a woman as they rode the R train in Queens earlier this month, police said.

The 32-year-old victim and the flasher were on a southbound train at the Rego Park subway station on April 14 shortly after 10 p.m. when the man exposed himself and then "manipulated" his genitals in front of her, the NYPD said.

The woman was able to snap a photo of the man before reporting the incident to police, officials said.

Authorities described the suspect as being in his 60s with a mustache. He was last seen wearing a black watch cap, tan jacket and blue pants.

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