A man groped a 12-year-old boy aboard an N train last week before fleeing at an Astoria subway station, police said.
The suspect — described as a white male with a full beard, a spider tattoo on his left hand and a silver stud piercing by his right eye — approached the victim on a northbound N train just before 4 p.m. on April 23 and grabbed the boy’s genital area, authorities said. He then exited the train at the 36th Avenue stop.
Police have released a sketch of the suspect who was last seen wearing black sunglasses, a Mets baseball hat, red hooded sweatshirt, gray jeans and black boots.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-577-TIPS (8477). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or can text their tips to CRIMES (274637), then enter TIP577. All calls are strictly confidential.
