Police are searching for a dirty old man who flashed his genitalia at a woman while on board a subway train in Rego Park earlier this month.

According to law enforcement sources, on Friday, April 14, at 10:05 p.m., the 32-year-old woman was riding on a Manhattan-bound R train heading toward the 63rd Drive station.

When the train pulled into the stop, authorities said, an unknown male exposed his penis in front of the woman and groped himself.

Following the incident, the victim filed a complaint via email to the MTA, police sources said. The NYPD later obtained an image of the perpetrator.

The suspect is described as a Hispanic male in his 60s with a mustache. He was last seen wearing a black watch cap, a tan jacket and blue pants.
