Police are looking for a man who got too close to an E train passenger when he placed his hand on her groin earlier last month.

The man, who is described as a Hispanic male in his 50s wearing glasses, approached the 38-year-old victim on March 22 on the E train. The train was heading to the Queens Plaza station in Long Island City at about 4:40 p.m. when the suspect placed his hand on the woman’s groin above her pants. He then fled the train.

Police released a sketch of the wanted man on Monday.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) then enter TIP577. All calls are strictly confidential.
