The NYPD is looking for a man who masturbated aboard a subway train in Forest Hills last week.

On Friday, Nov. 20, around 9:30 p.m., a 24-year-old woman spotted an unidentified man publicly masturbating while riding on a southbound E train, as it approached the 71st Avenue-Forest Hills station, according to the NYPD.
