The police are looking for a man who allegedly grabbed a teenage girl’s thigh on the “F” train near Long Island City earlier this month.

Police say that a man in his 30s put his hand on a 16-year-old girl’s thigh on a Manhattan-bound train between the 21st St. Queensbridge stop and the Lexington Avenue/63rd Street subway station at around 4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 18. The suspect then used his hand to rub her thigh.
