LONG ISLAND CITY — Police are looking for a man spotted touching himself as he rode the 7 train in Queens earlier this week.

The suspect committed the lewd act as he sat on a southbound 7 train as it approached the Court Square subway station Wednesday around 2 p.m., according to the NYPD.

A 22-year-old woman who was also on board snapped photos of the man before he exited the subway at the 5th Avenue-Bryant Park station in Manhattan, police said.

He's described as in his mid-20s, 5-foot-7 and 150 pounds, and was dressed in all black, according to police.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS or for Spanish 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).
