The police are hoping the public can help them find a subway rider accused of repeatedly exposing himself during a morning commute.

According to the NYPD, the incident occurred at 7:35 a.m. on Thursday, January 28th, when the man lowered his pants and exposed himself to a female passenger on a southbound 4 train at Grand Central. Unfortunate witnesses say he then pulled up his pants, went into the next subway car, and exposed himself again to more female passengers.

Photos of the suspect, described as being about 30 years old and 5'9" and wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, and blue jeans, were released.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call Crime stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime stoppers website at WWW.NYPDCRIMESTOPPERS.COM or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577.

If you see or experience sexual misconduct in the subway (this includes seeing a masturbator, being groped, being grinded on, etc.), you can report it to the MTA and police on this website. There's also a place for you to upload photos and/or video.
