Police from the 108th Precinct in Long Island City and Transit District 20 are looking for a long-haired suspect who menaced a 7 train rider as she was exiting the 46th Street-Bliss Street subway station on Queens Boulevard in Sunnyside on the night of Wednesday, May 21.
The 40-year-old woman was walking down the stairs to Bliss Street Plaza at around 10:30 p.m., when the stranger approached the victim from behind and slapped her rear end. The perpetrator ran back to the platform and boarded a 7 train in an unknown direction, police said Sunday. The victim was not injured during the encounter.
The NYPD released surveillance images of the suspect and described him as having a medium complexion, long, curly black hair, a beard, and a mustache. He was last seen wearing a dark short-sleeved button-down shirt with white designs, tan pants, and white sneakers.
