Police are looking for a man who copped a feel while walking through an Elmhurst subway station earlier this month.
On July 7 at 7:43 p.m., a 22-year-old female was walking through the mezzanine level of the Grand Avenue–Newtown subway station, located below the intersection of Grand Avenue and Queens Boulevard.
As she was walking, police said, the unknown man approached her from behind, grabbed her on the buttocks and then fled the location in an unknown direction.
