JAMAICA — Police sought the public’s help in trying to identify a man who forcibly touched a woman at the Jamaica Center subway station earlier this month.
On May 6, at about 6:30 p.m., a 23-year-old woman was heading up the escalator from the “J” subway in the Jamaica Center station, according to the NYPD.
